Delta Private Jets

[starcheckdriver]

Despite DPJ not making money and more pay cuts have been implemented, JS still travels regularly to 07FA on company aircraft. What's wrong with this picture?

Perk of the job, I suppose. Kinda like how regular employees get perks like paid vacation. Oh wait! The DPJ pilots got that taken away from them. I guess the big whigs don't have to give up their private jet travel and slum it in Delta first class or coach during the tough times.

As a side note, it is my understanding that Delta Private Jets is looking to hire more pilots. Growth or attrition?

I would guess both. Some growth, but attrition is high.

Can you guys jumpseat or nonrev on DL?

 

[The Kman]

There are standard nonrev benefits. Not home enough to go anywhere. Cannot JS. Not a scheduled 121/135 air carrier. Therefore cannot participate in CASS. Hope that answers the questions.

Any light at the end of the tunnel for DPJ pilots? Or is their schedule and pay going to suck forever?

And that is just when he cannot use aircraft owned by clients with blocked tail numbers.

One phone call to the IRS and i am sure they would love to review flight records, fuel receipts and Hotel Bills. A hefty bill for FET on the FMV for years of these private flights not incidental to his business will most certainly land him in jail, bankrupt or both.

He has already run two companies into the ground. Why not another?

Looks like he has already started to bury DPJ. The beginning of the end for them.
