WHERE: MTSU Student Union Ballroom, Second Floor, 1768 MTSU Blvd.
PARKING: Reserved parking is available in the Student Union Lot off Blue Raider Drive. A searchable campus parking map is available at http://tinyurl.com/MTSUParkingMap.
DETAILS: MTSU’s partnership with Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines will not only be a boon for the Department of Aerospace’s professional pilot majors, but also for prospective students, the department’s growth and potentially Delta’s major hubs in Nashville, Atlanta and Cincinnati.
Delta announced July 17 that it plans to hire more than 8,000 pilots during the next decade to replace current pilots reaching retirement age and to support planned growth in its fleet and network.
Simultaneously, it launched the Delta Propel Pilot Career Path Program with eight universities nationwide to connect with the next generation of pilots, including MTSU pro pilot majors.
The Collegiate Pilot Career Path application process begins this month at MTSU.
