‘The crosshairs are on all Boeing. I didn’t like them at first, but now I like them better than the chevrons.

Not so. Boeing displays have both. Customer preference.

Where do pilots usually position to get to the airplane, are there typical cities ?

Do pilots and flight attendant crews usually stay together for the entire stretch ? If Omni provides home basing does the pilot keep airline miles or hotel points, and is there a provision for business class travel if international positioning is required ?

Thanks!

Any deadhead travel outside CONUS greater than three hours in length is business or first, but you can waive and take a payout at your discretion.

From what he has told me, a lot of passive travel in and out of Shannon, Ireland, Bucharest, Romania, and Alliance airport near DFW.

EDIT* Got the email inviting me to interview about an hr after that post. Haha.

Anyone heard anything in this last window yet? I applied Monday and nothing yet. Saw a previous post where a guy had a TBNT email after 2 days so am hoping no news is good news? 😬

The MD products use them too. Easier to use once you get used to them.
