Delta AirElite is always seeking qualified and experienced pilots who demonstrate the highest professionalism, a dedication to outstanding customer service, and a team-orientation to join Delta AirElite’s “best of class” charter operations.
What are the hiring standards for Delta AirElite’s pilots, and how do these qualifications compare with industry standards?
Delta AirElite’s standards and experience requirements for all crewmembers exceed industry benchmarks and regulatory requirements.
Delta AirElite pilot requirements:
- Pilot in Command - 3,000 hours total time, 2,000 PIC, 1,000 Turbine, Airline Transport Pilot (ATP), and First Class Medical
- Second in Command - 2,000 hours total time, 1,000 PIC, 200 hours multi-engine fixed wing, ATP, and First Class Medical
Pilot applicants must reside in close proximity (within one hour) to a commercial airport with regular Delta Air Lines (and Delta Air Lines connection carriers) service.
In addition to the above requirements, new pilot hires may be provided with either initial or recurrent training, as appropriate, through approved FAR Part 142 training centers, which will obligate them to a two-year training contract.
Qualified applicants will be pre-screened prior to a formal panel interview by staff and line pilots. Selected applicants will be required to be fingerprinted, drug tested and undergo thorough FAA and law enforcement background checks. Pilot candidates who are on furlough from a scheduled air carrier will have to relinquish their position prior to a hire date.
Candidates are expected to have some other non-aviation life experiences and education, possess outstanding interpersonal skills, and demonstrate an understanding of the importance of customer service.
Pilot candidates who meet the above competitive requirements and agree to Delta AirElite’s new-hire requirements are invited to submit a cover letter, resume and their most current 8410 training document for consideration to pilotrecruiting@airelite.com. No phone calls, please. Qualified candidates will then be contacted by the Chief Pilot’s office.
Thank you for considering joining Delta AirElite’s expanding and professional team.
