Is everyone home based? Pilots can live anywhere in the 50 states?

12 days off / 30 day month - 13 off for 31 day month - 18 duty days
currently home based but will probably have bases in the near future

I got the call last week to interview in FEB, I guess for the 10. Any Omni pilots on here, I'v got questions. Is there any pay during training, if so, how much? On average how long are you on the road for? Why are there a handful of planes in ATL on a daily basis? Is there a seat lock? How long is the training? Bidding process, staffing levels etc etc etc....Hows the interview?

I know they can extend the 18 duty days by 4 more days. How often does that happen?

I know you guys are in contract negotiations. What changes do you expect to see with the new contract? (I know, that is a wild card but just wondering the general direction of things).

March is a 75/76 class.

Others who have interviews: How long did it take to get a call to interview?

As of right now the pilots are home based or LAS based. With the new contract that may change. The company has you on the hook for 18 days a month and the rest of the time is yours.

Anyone at Omni care to share some more info about the company?

From what I gleam, it is vacation/military charter for the most part. How are the trips? Crews? Layovers? If based in LAS, is the flying random, or is Hawaii pretty routine?

Thanks, I'm thinking about applying and was just curious.

if you don't mind being on the road for 18 days at a time - if not more - not everyone is cut out for this type flying but hopefully with our first contract coming soon the pay package will make up for the long days -
