Tyrion also made it very clear that AA would only be a win if it meant he didnt have to stay at OMNI, but that virtually every other major would be better.
Omni & Kalitta are about on par with Frontier, Spirit, Jetblue. If you like home basing, positive space real tickets and keeping the air miles and hotel points and never needing a crashpad... and can work with either one 16 day long trip or two shorter trips then go to the ACMI. If you like the on/off variety from traditional style lines go to one of the LCC’s.
For me, getting 2-4 weeks off at every transition is priceless once you get used to one longer trip of 14-16 days away. The 777 guys sit home reserve much more. First year pay goes to $124ph in April. 64 hr guarantee. Top step CA under this contract is $297ph
If he’s over 50 or seriously will not survive three years at Envoy, then go. K4 or Omni are very both good careers. The difference in how management treats their pilots here is simply shocking after so many years of Envoy abuse.
If I were under 50 (I’m not) and had the choice of three years making $100k as an Envoy CA then walking into AA or coming here to Omni... and if I could survive the AAG stupidity, I’d stay at Envoy and go to AA.
