Open the door to your second career

Life changing experience

Coming to Delta Private has been a life changing experience. It has given me many different career opportunities and experiences of being a pilot that I wouldn’t have anywhere else. Coming from 121 operations to flying 135 has been a great experience.

Keep on Flying

I reached the mandatory retirement age of 65 in November of 2016, but was not ready mentally or physically to give up my aviation career! Delta Private Jets gave me the opportunity to continue in a profession that I have loved for over 45 years and will allow me to leave on my terms! I have met some true professionals in my 2 years at Delta Private Jets and I truly appreciate the extra “cockpit” time the company has given me!

Great travel benefits

Working at Delta Private Jets has improved my quality of life both professionally and personally. They provided me with a schedule that I can work with, and we have great travel Benefits on Delta Air Lines, which opens up the world to us. On a typical rotation, I have had an overnight next to the the Rockies. Then the next night in the Caribbean. As more planes come to our fleet I had the opportunity to move on to another airplane. I started out as a Turn Key Captain on a Beechjet, then I advanced to the Core fleet in the Citation XL as a Captain. I believe having Delta Private Jets in my resume will open doors for any future endeavors.

An amazing company

Delta Private Jets has been nothing short of an amazing company to be a part of. I have never been through flight training that is as impeccable and thorough as DPJ’s training program. Compared to past companies, I have never left training feeling more prepared and equipped to start on the job as a new employee. DPJ not only has a name that is renowned, but a team of employees to back it up.

A great place to work

Coming from a career in Part 91 I wasn’t sure if I would like the high demand of Part 135 or the 8/6 schedule. It turns out that I enjoy both. We fly to so many diverse destinations and face unique situations that my knowledge and skills are constantly challenged and improving. In part 91 I had more nights at home but I didn’t have hard days off. At DPJ we work hard for a week and no one bothers us on our week off, which makes for a good work/life balance. If you’re looking for a challenging and diverse flying career, DPJ is a great place to work.
