I have been looking at Omni for a little while now but am just short or the PIC time required. I'm worried that once this deal goes through I won't be anywhere close to the new hiring mins if hey jump like K4's did. Do you guys see this happening or not so much?

Happens all the time. Go to a job fair to help improve your chances.

Sun Country may be in a similar situation right now.

This is completely inaccurate. Allegiant is not currently hiring, but until recently the average new hire was 6000+TT, and 3000 TPIC, with a four year degree. A lot of former expressjet captains. The complete pilot hiring stats are given to the pilot group every two weeks, maybe the guys you talked to are poorly informed. The Allegiant contract is still superior to other LCCs not counting the new spirit TA.

18 days on 12 days off (changing to 16+2 days on 12+2 days off if the TA passes). Roughly half the lines have days off in a row and the others have them split into two groups.

Don't count on breaking guarantee ever. Happens once a year to me (when it does I credit upwards of 90 hours but it's only one month).

We are still waiting for official TA and rates to be presented to the pilots. It is assumed it’s at least what was released prior from the company (or better). Minimum guarantee will be 64 hours per month.
