I agree. I'm honestly getting sick and tired of all the belly-aching bull**** people keep slinging out about OO. Sure, it has it's issues like everyone else, but one thing is certain. It provides a ton of flying for everyone who wants it. More flying means faster progress, flight time accumulation, upgrade. Checking the boxes so pilots can throw the apps out to the majors. I've flown part 91, 135, and now this. In a year and half as a "newb" FO, I've made more money with this company than any other operation I've flown for. This is also the first and only company I'vd flown for that's paid me a bonus. The ones I hear whining and crying on here are usually ones who were offered this gig right after flight instructing in 172s or Pipers. The ones who racked up hundreds or thousands of hours flying freight around all hours of the night in bad weather by themselves don't seem to mind flying 85-90 hours a month mostly during the day with 16-18 days off a month. It's all perspective. Does OO give you the flying you supposedly desired when you wanted this job? If the answer is yes, then you're in the best place for now. Get it and move on. Simple as that.
