We rarely if ever have to stay there as we drop off load and go as you can imagine we don't like to let airplanes stay in those types of places. There are a few places that we fly to or passengers we carry that are a little more sensitive than others and you will be told about them in training."
Simple statement instead of telling every person who has asked about Omni flying for the last few years that, "we cant tell you that, it's classified." How the hell is someone supposed to make a decision about applying there based on that info? Some people might not want that kind of flying and you save them the time of applying and Omni the time of interviewing them only to find out that don't want that kind of job.
As a former Marine, I think most military members appreciate the importance of OpSec. We also understand how easy it is to gather a little bit from here, and a little bit from there, to be able to paint a fairly clear picture which can compromise an operation.
Anyone who is looking into a company to fly for and is doing their due dilgence, have researched on Facebook and this forum. They have probably run across this thread and other similar threads which has already given quite a bit of info. They should be able to gather enough info to make a determination of whether or not that type of job is for them. It can probably be put to rest at this point.
