Well I assume you'll be calling me a troll, but from what I've gathered through "non-forum" means; your negotiations are going poorly (though that can be expected from ATSG eg. ABX - trying to take away the home/gateway basing benefit?), hiring is generally for attrition/expected attrition with a lot of guys getting calls from LCCs/Majors/Brown (good for them), and ATSG is interested in possibly placing the coming A330s with Omni as PAX airplanes before they get holes cut in them (interesting proposal since that is a good fit between the 767 and 777 in terms of capability). Would that be added frames or replacements for the 76/77?.
All second/third hand info so if one of the "non-easily offended" Omni folks can chime in that might validate some of this?
Curious to see how much it actually pans out or is brought up at the earnings call. The main driver of my interest in Omni specifically has been whether 777Fs will be making their way to the certificate, and for whatever reason ATSG (or Omni management?) has intentionally chosen to pass by that money printer for the better part of three years, while airlines like K4 and Swift (and even Eastern 3.1; which somehow has more lives than the original Eastern - even when all they do is misfire) have grown nearly on a y=x^2 curve, with their customer base being much more diversified than ATSGs (at least at first glance).
