MGA Aviation Alumnus Becomes Pilot with Delta Air Lines

It was love at first flight for MGA aviation alumnus Jacob White. Currently a captain with Endeavor Airlines in New York, White will begin training to become a pilot with Delta Airlines in Atlanta next month.

White recently spoke with the City of Dalton about his journey in the aviation industry.

"White says that his father had started his own pilot training before Jacob and his sister were born, but didn't complete it. Once Jacob became interested in flying, his father supported his flight training and the family bought an airplane from another pilot in Dalton and began training with a flight instructor at the Dalton Municipal Airport. White completed his private pilot's license soon after his 2015 graduation from Coahulla Creek High School and continued his studies at Middle Georgia State University's School of Aviation."
