Currently have an interview scheduled and I’m wondering about the following…
How many days on average are FOs working? Should you plan to be away for all 17 days or are a decent amount of them spent on reserve at home? How does reserve at home work? Is it a 2 hour call out to airport or is it a long call like 12 hours to report to the airport? I know Omni has split lines, are they senior? How does it work if you’re 16-17 days on the road, are you doing a lot of sitting at destinations? I see recently a lot of flight to Japan. Is it a lot of min rest overnights before flying back or is it decent QOL on the road? Also, what are some of this things that current Omni Pilots love/hate about the company? Thank you for the responses.

we do sit a lot. We are paid to be ready to fly. Lines really don’t go senior. The japan stuff does but with covid and being restricted to base its currently open to anyone. My first year i go split lines one long block lines or two month lines. It surprising you usually get what you want . We have some min rest trips but most have long layovers

How is it a dumb question? The guy has an interview coming up. If someone who just recently interviewed has some insight as to what may have snagged the 3 that weren’t hired and they are willing to share the experience, it’s a pretty smart question.

The information desired, regarding what is in an interview and what it takes to pass an interview, and the experience and background of those who have been successful, is found on aviationinterviews, as has already been provided.

Unless he walked out and admitted to wearing the wrong color tie, then followed it up with explicit direction on what color of tie to wear, it wouldn't help.
Instead, accounts of the interview process, questions asked, maneuvers performed, simulator profiles, etc, are all available in abundance, with detailed accounts, backgrounds of the applicants, citation as to whether hired and into what, and so on. One is given everything one needs to know, without having to worry about what one doesn't need to know.
Researching an employer is part of the preparation that comes with accepting and attending an interview. If one can't be bothered to do that, one probably doesn't belong there.
