"I've been interested in aviation since I was in middle school. Once that spark hit, it never really went away. I remember being fascinated by how planes worked. It felt like the sky was this open path."
"Scouting taught me leadership before I ever thought about being a captain. You learn responsibility early."
"The flight team was where aviation became real for me. It pushed me to improve."
Robert McRath is a Captain at Endeavor Air, Delta Air Lines' subsidiary, whose aviation career developed through lifelong commitment and structured progression.

Early involvement in Boy Scouts taught him leadership and responsibility, culminating in Eagle Scout rank. McRath pursued aviation science at Saint Louis University, graduating Cum Laude in 2019, and participated in the Flying Billikens Flight Team, which provided real-world aviation experience.
