Delta Air Lines is responding to misinformation on social media about the qualifications of the flight crew involved in the crash of Endeavor Air Flight 4819. The incident occurred on February 17, 2025, at Toronto Pearson International Airport, resulting in injuries to 21 passengers. All 80 individuals aboard survived.
As speculation grows online regarding the flight crew's credentials, Delta has issued a statement detailing their qualifications. According to Delta, the captain was hired by Mesaba Airlines in 2007 and has held various safety and training roles. The airline refutes claims that the captain failed any training events or faced issues transitioning to a pilot position at Delta due to training failures.
The first officer joined Endeavor Air in January 2024 and completed her training by April of that year. Delta emphasizes that she exceeds federal flight-hour requirements and denies any allegations of failed training events.
