Regional or DPJ? Have an opportunity to interview with DPJ but it took about 3 months to hear back, and i accepted a position with a regional since. I was told all indoc classes this year were full, and it may be spring before they could get me in? Any thoughts?

Could be wrong, but I think starting pay at some of the better regionals is higher (includes signing bonus). Hope you picked a regional with a flow slot to a major - that's a pretty good deal in my book.

Been a minute since this thread had any activity... What aircraft make up DPJ's core fleet compared to turnkey/managed aircraft? If someone is assigned a spot in the Excel out the gate, are they seat locked into that aircraft for the remainder of their time or are they able to bid into the X and Sovereign?

New Pay Scale?
Multiple DPJ crews have told me that a new pay scale is going to drop at the end of the year, but they've both told me slightly different information. Anyone have access to what the new pay scale is going to be and willing to post it here?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Average day at Delta Private Jet
Can a current Delta Private Jet Pilot tell me what an average 8 day trip looks like. PM me if you want. What is QOL at Delta Private, rotations, maintenance of aircraft, etc. Thanks in advance.

I've talked to a few crews on the XL fleet (a core fleet) and they sound pretty busy - maybe average 3-4 legs per day give or take.
