It's not the worst place to be (I was relatively happy there due to having decent seniority in my seat), but it's not a long-term gig at all, unless you like the abuse (not that there's anything wrong with that!). Heck, I'd probably still be there if they even made an attempt to treat you like a person, but they don't even try to make you feel like a valued employee. Instead, Omni is losing massive amounts of experience to companies who are better prepared to attract labor.

It's not even really the pay that drives most people away...it's the fact that they treat you like a piece of office furniture. I've sat 6 hours in the terminal after an operating flight without a hotel or VIP lounge, simply because it wasn't in our contract to provide one. They simply don't care.
I wonder if the new contract has helped improve on any of this ^^^

Also still curious about their longer term viability. Not much news about them outside this forum.
