Globemaster,
I'm very aware of Omni contract, The rate is higher but the work rules aren't up to the K4 contract , same with the ATI contract. Spirit rounds out to about even with K4 with the retirement considered.(which is industry standard at 16% direct contribution) Also, why their rate is okay, They have a really good guarantee. I truly envy the retirement you have at Fed Ex with the pension and hope that its there for you when you retire. I know that the fidelity direct contribution that you have there (fed ex) is what the standard should be at K4 and Atlas.

Omni and Kalitta get compared quite often (and fair enough, the Omni contract smells a LOT like "K4+0"). But they're pretty different jobs, AFAICT. Kalitta flies cargo, flies a lot, and Connie calls his own shots, for better or worse. Mostly better, it seems like. Omni flies people (people wearing boots, mostly), flies not a lot (at least right now), and is owned by ATSG. Pretty different lifestyles. I'm extremely happy at Omni, because I'm lazy and old, and guarantee works for me. If I were a young hard-charger who wanted to stack the greenbacks and build the hours, I would prefer Kalitta. Caveat Emptor and all that.

PS. I will append that Omni's work-rules are better in some areas simply by virtue of not being subject to the "cargo cutout".

Condolences on the ruling today. I know it must be very tough right now, but remember that it's never as good or as bad as it seems. If any of you want any advice on FedEx or UPS please hit me up with a PM or on All Out. This goes for all of you "Scumbag Freight" guys trying to get the best for your families. If you keep grinding I promise good things will happen.

God Bless.

Are people still showing up to class? It seems like that is your only real leverage...
