Does that include time spent as a relief crew member, or strictly flight time?

If you haven’t already, there’s great preparation info on www.Aviationinterviews.com
I interviewed in December and that is accurate. They added a 767 class on Feb 21st which I’m in and some of who interview this week will be added to also.
Good luck!

Thanks!

The training center is modern, clean, well equipped and comfortable. The kitchen has free coffee 24/7, microwaves and refrigerator to keep stuff in short term. The systems is done by CBT that you'll get before heading to training. Really dig into that as thoroughly as you can since very little in class time will be spent on systems.
Definitely get into study groups and use the crew room at the training hotel to study & quiz each other. There are two 767 procedures trainers at the hotel to practice flows, profiles and oral button & switch Q&A.

Not yet. I’d imagine we’ll all get them sent, once they’ve finalized the Feb class. So probably next week some time. See you then!

it used to be 2-3 weeks before class. Perhaps somebody who's been through more recently can pipe in.

True that. Jet Aviation, I believe. A General Dynamics subsidiary.

However, word was that, for next season, the Cards (and maybe their insurers, their players' insurers, etc.) wanted it on a CMI contract with a Part 121 carrier. Reliabile-ish info was that they shopped Omni and Eastern and awarded a CMI contract to Eastern. Which frankly seems insane, but some people think all doctors, lawyers and CMI carriers are the same. They're all licensed, right? So maybe the following year, after Eastern runs it for a season...

The rumor I haven't seen posted here is the one that claims that the Pats are terminating Eastern's CMI contract for their two 767 aircraft, and moving to a CMI contract with Omni. Congratulations if true. (I never understood exactly why the Pats went with Eastern, given that they already had a relationship with ATSG, in which Airborne was doing all the maintenance on the Pats aircraft for their Part 125 operator, Team 125.)

Kraft has multiple business connections with Olga Alauof.

I know you’ve been spanked already, but I’m gonna jump in too for a kick while you’re down and the world that owes you something is against you. You are expected to have initiative, determination, motivation, accountability and the ability to think outside of the box to work at Omni, Kalitta, ATI, Atlas, etc. these are non scheduled airlines that operate round the world and sometimes into hostile environments. Some of these airlines have a training profile that rewards the character aspects listed above. You are expected to be a professional and to work well with others. These are life skills. Please work on them. Regards, your fellow acmi brethren.
