I'm a lifer at Omni. But if you only plan on being at an ACMI until a major calls then come to Omni or Kalitta. Atlas may get a much better contract down the road but who knows when.

If this is the lifestyle you want then look at the bases, benefits, etc. Omni may not be the best but you'll still be better off than 95% of the country.
What he said. I also agree that Atlas has zero intent on negotiating a contract. The real details are in the work rules not the pay and ours are far behind industry standard.

Just my nickel
