Segrave Aviation, yep the worst

[AIRBORNEAVENGER]

The culture at DAE is by the book. I would imagine things will be significantly improved in NC.

Can anyone shed some light on what the DAE pilots get paid? Specifically, the midsize jet Captains and FOs.

I doubt they will disclose that over the phone. Can't they just tell you?

 

[PiratePilot]

do any Delta Air Elite pilots have details on how many pilots were recently laid off?

 

[starcheckdriver]

I don't think any were laid off.

 

[PiratePilot]

I don't think any were laid off.

Thanks for the info, my friend (laid off from Segrave Aviation) walked his resume into the HR office at KCVG DAE and the HR people told him that they had recently laid off pilots and were not hiring. Did Jim Segrave taken over as President of DAE yet?

Well sounds like both companies laid off. I know Segrave Aviation, laid at least one Lear 60 pilot. I can only guess why, but sounds like they are having to make room for all the pilots and they dont have the airplanes they though they were going to have now.

Segrave did not layoff the Lear 60 pilot. They fired him. As far as pilot staffing and airplanes, Segrave is hiring two Lear 60 SICs very soon. This is to accomodate the new 8/6 schedule that all Lear 60 pilots are moving to.

And yes, I believe that Jim Segrave did take over as President of both companies. As for layoffs....all the layoffs were admin personnel. If any pilots were laid off recently, it was on the DAE side. No Segrave pilots were let go, except the one they fired recently.

I would be careful what you say Starchecker, which can only be DJ. I know wildcard has a letter from Segrave stating he was laid off. Anything else and you and Segrave can be liable for slander. So you better watch what you say before I go get a lawyer. Yes I got a call on my day off and got fired. It was funny the DM couldnt give me a reason I was fired just there were numerous complaints and when I asked him for the details he couldnt give me any. So it was obvious I was fired so I would go quitely and then laid off on paper so they could not pay me the two weeks they owed me, plus severance and vacation time and then on Monday I recieved a letter with the letterhead sign by the DO stating I was "laid OFF". Thats Okay if thats how Segrave does bussiness I dont want to work for a company like that. I feel for DAE. They will find out in good time. They have owners that are on the verge of leaving. I know of at least one. I say Good Ridence to Segrave. SPIT

"... We had been hoping that during this period of economic instability, we could keep all employees with the company. We regret this is not the case; unfortunately you are being laid off, effective ... ...Thanks you for your hard work and dedication. ..."

 

[wildcard]

Well guess they laid off two pilots then!

So I'm confused... Delta Air Elite is purchasing Seagrave? Seagrave is purchasing DAE? or they're merging?

Delta purchased Segrave, at least that's what all the releases say. J. Segrave will be the president of "new" DAE. I don't really know how that works, but thats the way it has been reported. Good luck to everyone involved.

Yeah, a buddy sent me the press release.

I hear good things about AirElite and hope the two combined makes for a great, long-term career gig for the employees...

Best of luck to all!

Well, I dont think that it is turning out like many thought, either on the seagrave side, or more importantly, DAE.

Jim Seagrave is in charge and has his side well represented on the Organizational Chart. DAE has been gutted. Look for their ratings like the Robb Report to go down the toilet and mirror the former Seagrave.

Its a crying shame. Not that I ever thought the former DAE management was stellar, but compared to "JS" and his "admiral" and associated clowns, the DAE people appear have known what was going on, as opposed to "JS" and his slash and burn strategy...

More to follow....

The Segrave PICs also took a pretty severe pay cut. Most to the tune of $10K - $15K per year. Very sad! But hey, they received those stellar Delta travel benefits!!

...which is a great benefit for when you get extended so much that you have 3 days off a month.

Someone sign me up...twice!

Why did DAE aquire Segrave? To gobble up a competitor? To aquire a/c and owners?
