Congrats to any Comair guys/gals going to Omni. It was the best and worst job I've ever had all rolled into one. Great planes, valuable type ratings (PIC typed in the 75/76 or 777), interesting destinations (Shannon, Bishkek, Kuwait, Shannon, Anchorage, Shannon, Hawaii, Shannon, Ramstein, Shannon, Djibouti, Shannon, Bucharest, Shannon, Dubai. Did I mention Shannon?), and an awesome group of pilots to work with.
However, it is terrible company to work for. Management treats the employees like crap (worse than Comair and Delta treated us if you can believe that!), flight attendants are encouraged to write each other up as well as pilots over anything (many of the lead flight attendants think they are in charge of the airplane --- oh and watch out because lots of them like to play the race card!!!), a contract with holes in it so big that you can fly the 777 through it and long trips away from home. And enjoy your coach class middle seat on the 10+ hour flights to the Middle East.
It will be good experience though. I'm glad I did it, but I'm also glad I got out of it. It's especially great for the FOs with little to no PIC time! It'll help make up for the lack of PIC time. Go do it and enjoy it. I just wish the novelty wouldn't have worn off so quickly for me.
