Is it a 2 hour call out to airport or is it a long call like 12 hours to report to the airport? I know Omni has split lines, are they senior? How does it work if you’re 16-17 days on the road, are you doing a lot of sitting at destinations? I see recently a lot of flight to Japan. Is it a lot of min rest overnights before flying back or is it decent QOL on the road? Also, what are some of this things that current Omni Pilots love/hate about the company? Thank you for the responses.
i average 10-12 days a month. Long call reserve is usually sat at home until they need you. It’s 12 hour call out so if you get a call you probably wont leave until the next day. Honestly they put trips on your reserve lines usually days out so you can see what’s coming up. Short call is always on the first day of reserve you have to check your schedule in case something was put on. That’s 2 hour call out. Extremely rare to be called out on short call.
we do sit a lot. We are paid to be ready to fly. Lines really don’t go senior. The japan stuff does but with covid and being restricted to base its currently open to anyone. My first year i go split lines one long block lines or two month lines. It surprising you usually get what you want . We have some min rest trips but most have long layovers
