It certainly didn't go into the furniture...unless that's just "staging" by the realtor. But wow -- big difference from the house itself.

Hopefully whoever filmed that had a UAS license :-P



But seriously, why would someone build a house that nice so close to a river? Rivers flood.

Hopefully the climate where Del is forever located is the same as the inside of the Sun!

Seeing that house makes me HATE THE S.O.B even more.

Sorry, meant to link to the original Oregonian article that mentioned the house for sale:

Evergreen Aviation founder's estate cost $17 million. You can buy it for much less (photos, video) | OregonLive.com

Why the hate?
Del always paid me on time, good hotels, plenty days off.
I left 26 years ago. Did it go downhill from there?

If you were there 26 years ago....it was a very different company.

I was there to the end. Del DID NOT PAY US ON TIME. It happened over and over and over! There were several times the mortgage payment and other payments were very late. Del did not give a FOOK! If he did, he would have sold his magnificent palace and paid us on time. BUT AGAIN HE DID NOT GIVE A FOOK!

He had his and did not give a shiite about the employees. How would you like to be paid over 30 days late. How would you like to be stranded on the other side of the world with a company credit card that doesn't work. it happened many, many times. (But it was necessary so Del could continue flying his personal G4)

There were times many of us had to buy our own tickets home or pay for our own hotels on the road, and then wait weeks and weeks for reimbursement.

Del screwed us out of money that was supposed to be paid into our 401Ks. But he had his tens (or hundreds) of millions and his family was/is living the life of the ultra rich.

So yeah I hate the SOB and hope he rots in hell for eternity.

Ouch, sounds like it went downhill for sure.
I spent a few years with Tradewinds on the whale and we had similar:
Late pay, late per-diem, hotels not booked or paid, etc.
In the end I was out $140. Guess I was lucky.
Also had a 7 years with Tower Air, towards the end same thing but not as bad as you describe.
Then of course I got furloughed for 4 years after landing a job with AA, never dull in this business
