All of the legacies are in hiring mode too - I heard Delta is hiring 50-60 per month for the next decade. I would think international 767 experience is likely to be attractive to many carriers.
Good luck to all involved.
They have laid off twice and both have been short lived. Most airlines have laid off pilots. 2009 and 2013 are the only two I know of at Omni. Less than 6 months on both accounts. Please correct me if wrong. Was American or United's that short? I'm sad for my fellow pilots over at World and NAA and hope they find soft landing someplace. Its despicable what GAL has done to three Airlines! I have not always been happy here but I've never been laid off and my check has always been there. Is this place like the majors No! But it has been interesting. For the most part all of the line folks are great to work with.
