Not just kicked to the curb. I mean they were, but they have completed indoc and systems ground school and they will have a job as soon as Omni is hiring again, if they want. Which, if historical info is any indicator, will be this summer. ACMI DOD flying is always slow Feb to June and always has been.
Not saying I agree with any of it at all! It's a bunch of horse-manure and it's rotten. Omni management may be slowing down flying on purpose. I wouldn't put it past them. Its a very convenient time to be slowing down, right in the middle of negotiations. They did this same crap last go around in 2017.
