  • It took 2-3 months for Propel to schedule the interviews due to operational constraints in the summer flying months. The day was pretty straight forward. You recive an email with what to expect for the day. Although you receive a checklist of things to bring they typically want more. Make sure to have your certs/docs ready to go, they make copies before your interview. If you went to a University Part 141 school with full examining authority from PPL-CFII (this is only applies to one University) you need to have your flight record report printed out in the expanded view (all lesson and tasks). The flight record...

    The entire interview only took 30 minutes. A guy at the front greeted me and took all my documents to the back and later two pilots came out and introduced themselves and we went to a room inside the airport FBO. The entire interview was only HR based even though I am a CFI. They just wanted to get to know you and make you feel relaxed. The majority of the questions were from the study guide and it was spot on. Overall it was a good experience and I am just waiting to hear back from them. I...

    Quick interview, 30 minutes. I was last for the day. Had all my information tabbed and organized. 2 line pilots, not overly friendly but professional. Asked general question about how I got into aviation. Asked about any failures, and I reviewed the check stages failures using STAR and what I learned. Asked me if I felt those failures were "unfair." I said I didn't feel they were unfair, emphasized what I learned and that I understand that this is part of the career. Asked...

    They begin with having you explain about yourself. Afterwards they will ask a few of the HR questions (they are also woven into the scenario based questions). The interview is almost all scenario based questions. They will pick and tailor questions to your resume. The interviewers are focused on your leadership and decision making skills. Be prepared to explain all leadership roles. Overall very straight forward...

    For sure helped me along the way, I am still waiting to hear back from them as of now. First portion is just getting to know you and why you chose Delta and Propel. There are challenges as well, so making sure that you have some challenges youre going to deal with when entering the Propel Program. Then went in to situational based questions, and lastly just overall questions. Fairly simple, but they will try and push you to try and possibly change your...

    I interviewed with 2 current Delta pilots. They made the process very easy. They reviewed my application and documents and asked questions specific to my background. Interviewers have a binder of questions they can pull from and it was tailored to you. The interview lasted about 45 minutes in total. Overall a very good...

    My interview was very casual and conversational. I interviewed with 2 line pilots who went through the propel program themselves. We talked a lot about my background and why I chose my university and flight school. They asked several what would you do and tell me about a time questions in rapid-fire fashion. I’d suggest you prepare to give a brief introduction and backstory, speak to your leadership rolls, and always include...

    The process went like this. I sat in a waiting room and there was a liaison who greeted me and took my log book, training documents, and personal documents etc. They brought it to the two gentlemen who were conducting my interview in another room. I sat there for maybe 8 minutes before I went to the interview room. The men were nice, they shook my hand and introduced themselves. The first thing they did was thank me for having all my documents so neatly tabbed and all of the information I...

    It was my last chance with propel because I was rejected twice. And usually it is an in person interview but today it was virtual. They started with introducing themself and little bit of ice breaker. We talked about Starbucks coffee (Because it was on my resume), (view the study guide of this website).  And it went to scenario based questions. I have done many interviews but especially Delta Propel you just need to think of the company core values and high customer service and I think...

    Interview was virtual and started with introduction, tell me about yourself, why you want to be a pilot for Delta. Asked me a few tell me about a time Qs just like in the study guide of this website.  I was told they'd contact me in 1-2 days but ended up taking 1.5 weeks after numerous follow-up calls and emails. The interviewer was friendly at the beginning but as the interview went on she seemed disinterested. Didn't help that she was looking sideways at another screen the entire...
