I do not think they have interviewed in Tulsa at all since about Mid March. Some of us have been in the pool since February, however, I think they are down to about 3 weeks of folks left in the pool, and there is still a need for pilots. Rumor has it interviews will likely start again in late June or July.
They don't seem to keep a stack of resumes that are "call next time we need someone." I honestly think without a walk in, it is all about having the mins, and luck in timing of your resume hitting the right desk. I have read about people applying with better qualifications than I have for a year with no call, while I applied and was called within days. I only applied once, with no internal (although I know plenty of people working there.) My theory, apply often, and via varying mediums. What could it hurt? One more thing, Omni does not send out "Thank you for your resume, but...." type emails. So don't get freaked out by no reply at all.

Love it! Great job! I think they set a new record for getting 777's added to the certificate in such a timely manor. I've worked for so many airlines that just talked about doing things, its awesome that Omni executes, and doesn't just talk the talk!

Newhire on the 777 - that's great for him! How does that work with seniority at Omni? I would expect some relatively senior 757/767 and DC10 FOs might want to bid the 777 FO seat too. Would they just bump the newhire out during the next bid? Is there a seat-lock for newhires?
I guess if you get more 777s to replace DC10s that won't be so much of an issue - how many more 777s are expected?

seniority was used for the 777 -- there is a 2 year seat block -- that prevented some from moving and the need for some new hires going to the 777

Also, do you guys fly worldwide (i.e., Europe, ME and Asia) or primarily Euro charters for the Govt? Every time I see you guys in ATL you are flying MAC charters to Ireland or Germany... Is it typically a flight from the US, stopping in Europe and then onward to the ME? Do you guys do much adhoc charter flying to other continents like Africa (non-standard routes)?
