Delta Private Jets

[The Kman]

100% true. Not paid on Friday. Second time this has happened in a very short period of time. They are so far below industry standard. The least they can do is pay on time.

What was their excuse for the first time?

 

[The Kman]

Basically a failure of funds to be transfered. Same lame excuse as last time. They won't tell the real reason.

Support personnel too or just flight crew?

Remember that the same brain trust that inputs the payroll are the same people that put out a company email exclaiming that they finally figured out the new highly convoluted (my interpretation) pay rig that had already been in place for months.

Been there done that and got out.

Good luck to those I left behind.

FYI- As a business owner, who has a small payroll. Funds must be in my ADP account, 72 hours before payroll is due.

DPJ off the Rwy at TEB

Heard delta private jets ran a 60 off the runway at TEB last week, any more news? I had heard their MX was ultra iffy, mx attributed perhaps?

Just heard their Challenger 604s are being sold for pennies. Layoff coming?

 

[The Kman]

577DA and 597DA have been sold. 5 other managed planes are being returned to their owners. About 16 pilots who do not have a seat to sit in. To be continued........

I am willing to bet a lot of DPJ pilots are throwing a big party right about now...:beer:

I have a friend that flies the 604 for DPJ. He was a former starcheck driver, starcheckdriver. I think he's still flying it..

And that buddy has a good buddy that works at XO and doesn't want to interview there. For some odd reason he'd rather stay at DPJ. Either he's nuts or DPJ can't be that bad???

Has anyone ever declined to sign the contract there? if so what happened?

 

[The Kman]

Pilots will cave and sign because they need the job. If a pilot does not sign it, then he/she will be seperated from the company once no longer current. Management does not understand that this 'contract of adhesion' will not prevent an employee from leaving the company. If an employee finds a company that offers the basics(average pay, vacation, sick time, health care) he/she will be gone.

Here's a funny story...I applied and phone interviewed with the CP at Segraves in '08. I was out of currency in the 60 but still offered the position if I was willing to pay for my recurrent. He stated that a lawyer, trying to get back into aviation, was willing to pay and if I wasn't then the job was his.
I didn't get the job..

has anyone actually said no though?
