Omni is still hiring, and planning a November class on both the 767 and 777. Hiring seems to be mainly for attrition.

Are folks getting calls without internals? And any idea what's competitive?

3200TT, 2000 Jet, 125 TPIC, two types. Wondering if that would get a glance without an internal.

Thanks!

I've got 1,200 PIC. Just 125 TPIC. I'm not sure if that's what you mean. Couple thousand hours glass/FMS. International time. I've been to just about every square inch of Mexico. Hopefully that'll at least get me a look.

With all due respect to the guy that thinks 1224 sold them out. Omni pilots got the contract they deserved, because most of the pilots REFUSED to pay dues or sign up and become members. After 4-years of dealing with an inept pilot group they finally settled on a substandard contract because everyone from the pilots as well as 1224 had had enough. A union is only as strong as the pilots willing to support their union, so if you want to place blame I suggest you look within at the guys that were unwilling to become members in support of their elected union. You all know who you are!

Great post. Those sitting around waiting for 1224 (or ALPA, for that matter) to make things happen for them are going to be waiting a long time. The pilots must show solidarity, regardless of the bargaining agent. Without that, nothing can be done.

We're going through a big solidarity drive over here at Atlas, and it's gaining a lot of traction. But make no mistake: 1224 didn't do this; WE did this.
