Omni Air

No you haven't. You are a liar. Any real-life professional pilot would understand that what you just posted is sophomoric drivel. I now highly doubt you are even a pilot. If you are, you are not a professional by any reasonable definition of the word. Get out of Mom's basement, touch grass, and then go open a new sock puppet account to gripe about entitled and overpaid employees with the gall to try to better themselves.
I encourage the rest of the thread to ignore the troll and judge Omni based on merit. I would hate for perception of the whole company to be tainted by this buffoon. I regret having ever tried to engage him as a peer. I'll leave the *actual* Omni pilots and aspirants to their thread now.

This line of the discussion was your choice; you made it an issue, and thus turned the direction of the thread as a spotlight on you. At this point you've gone too far.
I've been around in the industry a god damn long time as a professional without any need for your validation. Nothing I have written is hyperbole or false.
You've been adamant about defending those who fail to show up for class, and those who take the training and run, and it seems to have touched a nerve with you; you sound like one of those wastes of breath who engage in such practices, and perhaps you're one who had your training given you, and don't understand the cost or the implication. You don't sound like someone whose word is their bond, or who really knows what it means to keep one's word, else you wouldn't be making such an issue of what was a passing comment. Remember that YOU chose to open that door.
As for my own experiences, I've had nothing to apologize for with my employment, and I can go back to those employers for a recommendation. Keeping my word has not cost me a career, a future, or as it turns out, a job. In the case of the 747 offer, the job was there when I checked back, and I got the job; the employer appreciated the integrity; the employer knew I wouldn't leave them in the lurch, because I wouldn't leave another employer in the lurch, with whom I'd already made a commitment. Accordingly, the employment I turned down in favor of an existing commitment, I received later on, and I did in fact leave that job some time later for a higher paying position in a much smaller airplane. The higher pay was due to the nature of the flying. Apparently you wouldn't know about that. Perhaps your experience or background is too narrow. Who knows?
This is all quite irrelevant to Omni, but the derailment is yours; own it if you have an ounce of integrity, deny it if you don't. Either way, it won't matter a whit to me, as you're on the ignore list as one who is unworthy of any further discussion. You've failed to contribute to the conversation in any meaningful way, and perhaps when you get done licking your wounds for your own dishonor, you can buck up and have something to contribute to the thread. I already did. Give it a shot.

He's on my ignore list.
How's the travel to get from/to the planes? Do they actually give first/business tickets?

He thinks he "dropped the mic" by ignoring me. They don't exist. The rest of us ACMI grinders will just have to do the best we can for ourselves without his Wise And Very Obviously Not Made Up anecdotes about Captains Of Industry begging him to fly their airplanes for more money than we mere peasants have ever heard of.
A True Widebody Pilot was offered $500 an hour off the street by Real Men to wrangle jibbering dolts such as ourselves out on the line. He has deigned to grace us with his presence, and tell us we are lacking. We should be grateful. That's all you need to know from his posts.
(If anyone is cruising this thread for actual information about Omni, please understand that I am just another ACMI dingus who has flown with other Omni pilots down the line, and I believe them to be exceptional. I have very little of value to add, but probably more than that JohnBurke LARPer. Pease direct all questions to actual Omni pilots.)

If as management claims they want to make this place a true destination airline, do you guys think that the new contract is going to be able to make some meaningful gains or is it just going to be a kick in the shorts like K4?

ATSG's latest earnings call indicated Omni's fleet count would reduce by one before the end of the year and based on this thread it sounds like management is asking for concessions. Read into that as much as you want (and consider current industry trends as part of that "reading").
