Omni Air

Any idea on how many pilots they're looking to pick up? expansions?

Which fleets are they hiring onto nowadays? If you were hired today, which fleet would you likely get? I presume they have PFEs for the DC10s.

The big O is bleeding pilots pretty badly I hear. Most hiring is into the light twin fleet right now.

My 6K TT, 6 types including MD11 and A320 wasn't good enough according to their HR since apparently I'm "non current"...

Guess when a pilot is laid off in this world, his career ends.. So much for the days when you sat sideways 5 years before you got into the right seat!

My personal opinion is you have way too much experience. They know if they get you current then you'll be snatched up by a better carrier....The current hiring matra is to find folks that will HAVE to stay at Omni for a least a few years....

doesn't surprise me... I worked at a bottom feeder 135 that went thru a phase when industry hiring was picking up where they only hired guys with violations, or other baggage... Sad too, cause at 41 I'm getting to the point where I might just hang it up at the next job, no matter how crappy..

Best of luck to all of us!

Spoke to the HR dept. last thursday and was asked to submit my resume. Possible hiring down the road into a pool.

Anyone know what kind of total time and background they have hired lately?

I got a buddy hired with 1600 TT and 156 pic. Mostly as SIC in BE1900 and DHC-8.
