What are average trips like?
Is it possible to fly more than guarantee?
With a small pilot corp, are trip swaps doable?
Is Omni a place that you would want to stay til retiring? Or is it more of a stop on the way to Fedex or something along those lines?
Thanks, love you guys!

Depends on your sonority. We have full block rotations and split lines.

Yes.

No.

That's a loaded question - yes & no. Legacies do like to cherry pick ACMI and guys leave for greener pastures. Some folks like the home-basing and refuse to commute. Will Omni be around for another 30 years? That's anyone's guess.
