delta air elite?

[runfast]

anyone out there have any info about delta air elite shares. the website says they've been around since 1984, but i haven't seen any advertising anywhere, except their website.

do they hire their own "delta" pilots, or do they contract out with flex jet or some other fractional company?

thanks in advance...

They've got a handful of planes in CVG, where they're based, but they claim a fleet of hundreds of planes, either through a charter network or a fractional, i can't remember...

They hire their own pilots, but other than that they're not connected to Comair or Delta.

try a search, i remember someone much more knowledgeable than me giving some info...

I just saw a couple of their pilots out in DEN a few weeks ago. I was going to try and talk to them and ask them some questions. When I got back into the FBO they were gone.

I know a guy who was hired there a few months ago. I believe he applied directly to their website, though I'm not positive. Hired as a LR60 FO. He said training was great and the folks at DAE have been fantastic. Time from interview to hired to training was all very short, less than 3-weeks if I remember right.

I think they sign corporate operators up on their certificate to supplement their Pt. 91 flying. If memory serves me correctly, Procter&Gamble has their department on DAE's certificate amoung others. Our flight department received a letter from them last year wanting to put on our 2000.

Good luck.

Proctor and Gamble has removed their A/C from DAE's certificate. They got tired of their equipment getting trashed.

A charter company trashing airplanes??

I've had the chance to talk to a few DAE pilots. Their LJ60's are pretty funny, they're ex-FlexJet aircraft but not much has been done to remove the FX markings... Some aircraft haven't been repainted, others kept the FX stripes but painted the rest white, and the registrations just have the 2XXFX changed to a 2XXBX.

Aside from that, the DAE pilots told me that the flight ops department is completely seperate from that of DL mainline. Seperate hiring, seniority, etc.
