Pilots 306 now and climbing.
First year pay now $117 per hour instead of $113.
Most junior upgrade now 2 years exactly on the 767. Slightly longer on the 777. However, we’re getting more 777’s and going to expand from pax only to pax & cargo. Expect upgrades to drop even more. Getting in now is the key. Getting hired after they show up on property could potentially trap guys in the right seat as normal attrition now is by retirement and senior FO’s and a few junior CA’s going to UA/DL/AA/FEDEX/UPS... none are leaving for LCC’s anymore. CA attrition from other than retirement has gotten very low. Not many want to go back to commuting, crashpads, standby travel, and waiting on vacation awards to go someplace.
Sounds like it could be a great gig.

What are schedules like, on/off, etc.? Seems like a lot of these type of carriers are 16 on, 14 off or so. That kind of time away is a no-go for me.

I also read Omni has United pass privileges. How does that work?
