Omni Air International Hiring First Officers

[CaptSeth]

New contract on its way shortly to improve pay/work rules...

You guys work hard, you deserve the best.

 

[johnsonrod]

Which equipment types are newhires getting recently? DC-10 or 757/767? If both are offered, how are equipment choices allocated?

I assume with the incoming 777s that slots have opened in both fleets.

 

[CorpCaptain]

Heard 757 has been where most of the newhires have been allocated. Got the call from them but turned it down. Incredably nice people to speak with. Captain who was a mutual friend told me typically 18-20 days straight, possibly extended to 22. Pay rates are a joke. Hopefully for everyone currently employed there things will change with a new contract. Interesting flying if your single and have a nice trust fund set up. Bigger the plane, bigger the suitcase.

I am treading water in the pool. Anyone interview after the end of February get a class date yet?

First week of March new-hire, no word yet, I am not expecting anything until July/August time-frame but hoping for a call soon just to schedule it up...would put me at ease. I heard mainly 75/76 classes for now, no DC10 classes for awhile, 777 may have vacancies but for the benefit of current line pilots (in seat locks), I hope they get first dibs. Last class assigned to a 02/14 interviewee was June 21st. That's all I know!

And yes it's 18 days on, but you can bid for schedules that have other variations of the 18 days. They can extend you up to 4-days. Overtime is key to making money with current pay schedule. New and improved contract expected in 2-3 months from what I hear.

Thanks for the information.

Any more news on Omni? How is the contract coming along? What is the hiring forecast for the rest of the year?

 

[ROSWELL41]

How does the LAS-based flying work? Who is that contract for and what are the schedules like? Is it junior or senior in the company?

 

[tcaphou]

LAS is very senior; both CA and FO. The flying is a long-running contract with Vacations Hawaii in which residents of Hawaii come to Vegas on all inclusive package deals. Flying approx 3 round trips per week.

Omni Air. Where ex ATI pilots go to die!

Well, usually they have to go before some FAA type to discuss some transgression or other.....

Then do they go to OAI to die!

 

[OMNIDC10FO]

Forgot one as well!

So it's...

ATI
FAA inspector guy
OAI
Study Muay Thai
Then they die!

O-Tay (If you know what I mean!)
