Regarding employment at OMNI Air Int'l

- $56x60 vs $30x75... after upgrade $60x75 or so, still at best equals

I may have looked at something OLD, but $56.00 looks like 4th year pay.

Guess who will be in a better position to get hired at just about anywhere when things will turn around? A regional CA or a DC10/767 CA?

Everything you say makes this look OK for young regional pilot to hang out until things get better - then move on when things turn around. Lot of pilots didn't choose the regionals because their child support was more than regional pay. Now that they have years of jet experience they can fly a wide body jet worldwide and earn less than their children earn. NO I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND.
You would think Omni would want pilots who don't intend to jump from job to job.

I don't know bro. Fact is there has not been an airline, regional, charter, major, etc that had to cut back schedules because they could not fill seats in this decade. It is true that for a wide body Omni pays low, when someone is without a job you will not look at size/pay. You will look at total pay only. Just a fact of life. If someone goes there as a street CA, I bet he makes more than his kids.

Omni really doesn't care about retention. If you stay, fine. If you go who cares. You'd think they'd want to retain an experienced guy and reduce training costs but they pay so low that the extra training cost doesn't bother them in the least.
