Upgrade 6-12 months at Omni, but which is really better now and 5-10 years from now?
Plus you don’t fly that much at OMNI.

If we don't get the promised 744s then upgrades will be really slow at World.
I've wondered about that, I always see numerous OMNI jets parked in ATL. I could stand to fly more at World. It looks like things should pick up in the near future for both airlines.

That leaves quality of life and career stability to think about....

I opted to go in to the pool at world for personal reasons. I was to be in the class that started this Wed. I have to say that I would not touch Omni with a 10 foot pole.
I know a few people over there and they get worked to the bone. Most are out at least 30 days and sometimes over 40. They are not given the time off like the World drivers. If you are looking for a fourth stripe them Omni may be for you. It does not go on senority though. You need to know the secret handshake. Most guys that I know say it sucks, but they will make about 90K as a capt. Maybe if you are a single guy with no family it could be a good place, but if you have either I would strongly caution you.
