[jetjockey#1]

Does anybody know anything about Omni Air's interview process.

Thanks.

Ya, If they call you for an interview and you actually show up, you're hired.

Pretty much sums it up! Fill out another application apon arrival to HQ, get asked a couple of back ground questions by HR, sit and talk with fleet manager(very nice guy), he takes you to lunch and then you come back and fly the standard profile(T/O, RMI tracking, holding, ILS to landing) on a computer based DC-9 panel.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that you actually had to be breathing too!

Looks like you didn't take the job with your MD11 experience (either World or Gemini instead). Did they offer a choice of either the DC10 or the 757 or just one choice? What are the pilot domiciles?

dont forget that you have to buy your own ticket to the interview. its a home based operation.

Yes, you have to get there on your own, but they do give you a hotel room. No choice, but back then they were only hiring on the 10. Don't know if that has changed.

2 leased 757's going back to their owners so I'm 99.9% sure THEY are hiring for the dc-10. Resignations O'plenty! Hope you like Ireland. Best O' luck to ya!

You're not actually thinking about trying to go there are you? I would hazard a guess that you are making about double what an Omni captain makes if you're flying the Global Ex.

 

[OMNIDC10FO]

That's right. We're home based, aren't we? I spent so much time drinking diet cokes at B-52's while sitting perpetual reserve that I almost forget that bit of information. Probably would be there right now if they hadn't closed up!

No way. I have a friend who flies KC10s for the Air Force and it could be a possible avenue for him if he wants - although I am sure he will be picked up by Delta or SWA (his main choices). Yeah, I enjoy my Global gig too much to consider anything else.

With the people that are leaving with the 75's going away, any talk of doing a furlough? -kingaira90

 

[OMNIDC10FO]

just got letter today stating no furloughs. all displaced 757 pilots will be trained on the dc-10. with all the resignations going on, it is probably a good thing for the company to have a pool of people that they can train to keep the 10's in the air.

When is the vote? I would have voted yes if still there. Pollard told guys over in shannon no way for pay raises with a union or without. I hear alot of wash outs going on in the new hire classes. Guys are having trouble with the round dials.

Pollard is a class A prick! Looks like he's gonna have a little ol strike on his hands!

Ireland?? WTH is that all about?

I thought about Omni until they told me I'd be a F/E until Judgement Day.

 

[OMNIDC10FO]

Ireland = European tech stop/Home away from home!

F/E Forever? Who gave you that Info? They are usually needing FO's more than any other position. I got a friend hired with 2k+ hours with no jet time. The 10 was my first jet as well. The schedules are ricoculous, but the experience looks great on resumes and I don't believe there is any other place where you will upgrade to captain on a widebody quicker than OmNi. If you believe in paying your dues, 2 years at Omni will allow you to check that box!

 

[LandRoverNut]

Are they still looking for FO's. I have been think about sending my resume in for a year now. I am just not sure I would like being on the road for 18-21 days!

 

[OMNIDC10FO]

Thinking of sending them a resume for a year? Not sure I understand the logic. I assure you that you won't be gone 18-21 days in a row if you don't actually apply.

 

[fatazz]

I thought you are leaving for SWA.
