This isn't news. Omni just sold one its older airplane to ATSG for the Amazon flying. Are you implying we may be sold to Amazon or something similar? I've learned from working here that anything is possible, but I doubt we'll turn into a cargo carrier (again). Maybe I'm wrong.

I think Master is insinuating that he has applied for a job with the Amazon flying and has heard of others that have applied. The article talks about Amazon cargo movement may rival Fed Ex. So why would't you want to get in on the ground floor of such a company.

I think you're right. I've heard the same thing through the grapevine.

Fair enough. I didn't read it like that. I'm slow most of the time.

This company would deny selling out to Amazon even after they have moved everything out the hanger and turned off the lights.

Does Omni take foreign passports + green card? Their website says yes, and so did it many years ago but during the interview they told you that only US passports were acceptable.

Thanks Heavy Driver! So the application page is still lying. I was not going to spend again 800 bucks to an interview to find out they still are discriminating (saving the hassle of the TSA background check).
The "we do military flying" doesn't hold water. I have flown for a few US carriers that did a lot of military flying and having a foreign passport was not a problem.
