I can say this about Omni...It's not the best and it's far from the worst supplemental airline...It's the owners airline and they do things that don't make sense and will make you mad as hell, but the paycheck has never been late...We lost and gained when the IBT contract was signed and with negotiations opening soon, the next several years will be tough...Expect the unexpected, you can expect to be away from home 18 straight days, and if your bid was bad can turn into 36 days, BUT I've been home the last 3 weeks, and can expect to be OFF another month because of an airplane being down hard, plus some OE training going on...The training is tough for weak pilots...There is a lot to learn, so be ready. The training department is more of a checking department, but I have NEVER had a problem with any of the instructors...You will get extra training if necessary, but the CBA is specific on how much extra training you will get..I don't think it will help coming to Omni if your already a PIC on a Regional type though...The grass is always greener over the fence regardless where you are...Good luck...
