Omni upgrades aren't 6-12 mo.... they're politics.. The job is about as secure as subcontracting for Haliburton in Iraq.. Steer Clear.

Can't take a joke? I just figured it was the beer causing the finger misplacement. I'm far from the "spelling Nazi"! But seriously, Wolrd, no wait, Wold, no dammit I meant Wurld. Oh crap, whoever they are, is a very good place to work if it fits your style.

When you figure it out, let me know. I'm still trying to figure it out.

I know a few people over there and they get worked to the bone. Most are out at least 30 days and sometimes over 40. They are not given the time off like the World drivers. If you are looking for a fourth stripe them Omni may be for you. It does not go on senority though. You need to know the secret handshake. Most guys that I know say it sucks, but they will make about 90K as a capt. Maybe if you are a single guy with no family it could be a good place, but if you have either I would strongly caution you.
I don't know who's going out for 30-40 days at a time but that's just plain untrue unless you volunteer to go out for that long. Noone is forced to do more than 22. But I agree with most on this forum, definitely World over Omni anyday!

You guys are right on. Bypass Omni if you can. While the home basing is a definite plus, it was not worth the aggravation during my tenure. Upgrade was fast, and only because anyone who has a life bolt as soon as anything better pops up due to the the Nazi style scheduling tactics of mandatory hold out on a trip into your off days. Pay was terrible as an FO and even worse as a Captain for the amount of responsibility and work you have on your plate.

Management had a tight grip on any attempts of the pilot group organizing. Last I heard they were trying again to get some representation. Good luck to those poor bastards that are stuck there.

My advice. Stay away from Omni. World is a no brainer.

Good luck!

Does omni pay you more to stay out or pay extra into your days off. I just got cut over at ATI because they are parking airplanes and need a JOB. Whats it take to make capt over there. Ive heard of some making it in under a year.
