Trip rigs and higher per diem are also high on the list.

I just had an Omni Pilot on my Jumpseat...What this guy had to say about working at Omni had to be exaggerated...
This guy said a pilot had a family emergency at home while he was overseas flying and they wouldn't let him go home...he had to find his own way back home from the other side of the planet...No way that could be true!
Can anyone verify this?

I'm bored where I'm at and flying 4 or 5 legs a day with not a peep from any of the majors has caused me to look at airlines like Omni. I have 6000TT with 2500PIC Jet. Would this be competitive? What can I expect in terms of money and time off?. I've seen past posts, but I see a bunch from pilots that don't work at Omni anymore.(Must be a reason). How about from pilots still at Omni.

Ideally you should be single with no living relatives to work at OAI! We've had several crewmembers from both fleets put on bereavement leave overseas then abandoned.......One if our 777 guys was put on leave in Kyrgyzstan after his grandmother passed away and told to find his own way home! Travel department wouldn't even assist him in booking transportation............
Just another way management at "The Big O" lets us know they care!

I'm not sure what you're doing now, but I was flying 135 single pilot freight before I came to Omni and I'd never go back to that scary crap. The job is fun if you can roll with the punches... I just flew with a couple guys who absolutely love it (the job, not the company), and a couple that think it's the worst job ever. So read the posts about what it's like to be gone for 18 or more days with Omni and make up your own mind. One thing Omni is not is boring. There's something new every trip.
