Omni Air International

[HalinTexas]

I ran into an Omni pilot the other day and was asking him about the schedules. He said that he has been there a little over a year and has never been out 18 days. The most he has been out was 14 days, but most months were less than that and he had still not broke the 65 hour gaurantee. He likes it so far, but did not have positive comments about excessive multi-leg deadheading on company aircraft crammed in a middle coach seat between troops and their gear since they dont get seats reserved for them. I guess the company tries to save money doing this instead of buying commerical tickets for them. He also joked about the quality (or lack of) of the FAs from ATL! Apparently a bunch of Queen Latifa's types with no ettiquete overseas!

FWIW!

This is interesting. At ATA we're not allowed to sit in the back with the troops, either deadheading or jumpseating. We're told that the military forbids it.
