Be it pay, anticipated contract, fleet plans, new bases,etc., never, ever take a job based on what you're told is about to change. Always base your decision on the current situation. You should apply this advice whether it is FedEx or Delta all the way to Commutair or a mom and pop 135 Navajo job.

According to the Omni guys there are 40-some in the pool. Classes are 10-12 each. We are allowed one bypass of training. No word on what plane we will be offered or exactly when. If things fall apart between now and then, I still have my crappy RJ job.
From a business standpoint there is no point in training folks only to pay them to sit at home getting paid for doing nothing while they wait for IOE. I would not have minded that, but it does make sense.

Good advice indeed.

He is just trying to share information about what life and schedule is like at Omni and not trying to win any battles here. NightIP is one of the most humble guys you will ever meet, especially on aviation standards. He has nothing but good intentions when sharing information about what he knows. He is not out to impress anyone or anything like that.

From what I was told by someone in the June 21st class, the May class is full, but they are still waiting to hear if 6 from the May class will take it or defer. If they defer, they could move the June 21st poolies into the May class.
