HQ is in Tulsa, OK.

Omni has only "one" base for pilots, LAS (from this point on this particular being what we know as "LAS" will be known as Vegas/VH.) BUT! only 5 captains and 5 FOs are based in Vegas/VH. EVERYONE else who works for Omni and lives in LAS but not Vegas/VH is "home base." Yes! You can still live in LAS and not be Vegas/VH based but still be home based. Meaning; you will not be doing the Vacation Hawaii (VH) flying. But, when you have to go to work Omni will buy you a ticket out of LAS to wherever in the world they need you to be.

Here is a list of our "Gateway bases." All "gateway" basically means is, find an airport on this list you want to be airlined out of as your home base. For instance, if you wanted to live 2 hours outside of the city of Las Vegas and its airport, you can. Just KLAS would be your gateway base and Omni would buy you a ticket out of KLAS to get you to the other side of world.

ABI, ABQ, ACT, ALB, ATL, AUS, AVL, AVP, BDL, BHM.

Yeah, the "special" flying that everyone knows about in the business is not that much of a secret. The company will give you an 80 hour guarantee instead of a 60 hour. But, as a junior FO new to the company, that flying is ALL you will do. You will have no choice to do anything else unless you volunteer.

You can't be assigned to it, ever. You have to sign up and get the clearance required. Then and only then can you bid for that particular flying on the bid packet.



Yeah you can also look up Atlas' mistake on NTSB.......


Yeah, you can also see Visions mistake on the NTSB....(also see above.)

Oh yeah, you can see Dynamics and all of Nationals, Worlds, and Nationals mistakes at that airport on there too.

 

Now why are you dragging Dynamics, National and World into your little cat fight?

 

Because they've all had their problems over there at that airport. Some of which were doing the same type of flying we're doing.

 

Sorry, I think I missed my target with the shot. It wasn't to point out anyone's mess up at KBL because god knows everyone has had a few there. It was to point out there isn't anything secret about the flying Omni does, because talking to some of the guys at Omni who do that flying, you would think they are part of the CIA/MI6.

 

Gotcha. +1

 

Why are you taking "shots" on the Omni thread anyway? I am sure Atlas has a few threads you could get involved with over there.

 

Thanks Blackbox, good info.

60 days sounds kinda brutal. Is some of that sitting at home waiting for a phone to ring?

Or is that all out on the road?

St

 

Omni guys being the pros they are don't talk about the "special" flying because they're requested not to. They're not trying to come off as provocative just following orders from the people that sign the checks.

 

exactly -- and suggest all others follow suit

 

What are you, the classified police?

Nothing that has been put out here is classified! If we want to chat about this, there is nothing you or Omni can do about it so long as we are not in said program.
