What's a guess upgrade time would be for someone who has 6k TT and about 1800 TPIC?

Does a 2300 hr pilot with a couple of type ratings, part 135 experience and no TPIC stand a chance for an interview without an internal?

Does DPJ allow you to pick up open time trips on your days off like the regionals do?

Absolutely. Apply away. There is always plenty of open time to pick up for a few extra bucks too.

Onto which airframe are you all currently upgrading? I have heard that new-hires may expect the Excel at first. With upgrades being about a year, will captains transition to light mid or super size airframes?

I saw they're looking for pilots for some of the managed jet positions. There's a Phenom 300 based at CHS (wasn't listed in the ad). Anyone here fly that jet or have any insight on when they may be looking for another pilot?

Have a few strengths and weaknesses ready for both you as a person and abilities as a pilot.

Oh, and by the way, I was offered the job on the spot.

Good luck!
Thanks! I didn't get hired on the spot but I do feel good about the interview. Hopefully I will hear some good news soon.

As a pilot for Delta Private Jets, must you live within a 1 hour drive to your home base airport, or a 2 hour drive to your home base airport serviced by Delta mainline or Delta Connection? Are they very "strict" about this matter?
Thanks.....

I know a guy who is 1:45 from domicile, and there are no issues with it. Just can make a long swap day from time to time.
