Pilot Career Seminar
Epic frequently invites airlines to host Pilot Career Seminars that are attended by flight students and flight instructors. “These seminars are a great way for our CFIs to connect with various airlines” said Epic COO Josh Rawlins. “Once they have built their 1,500 hours of flight time, they are eager to become airline pilots.

“Endeavor Air also offers the only guaranteed interview with Delta Air Lines via its DGI program,” said Captain Evans. “After serving 18 months as Captain with Endeavor, our pilots are guaranteed to interview with Delta Air Lines.” He also noted they must meet all of Delta’s hiring minimums.
