My Atlas contacts say with the Amazon contract they're seriously studying dumping their passenger service.

I'm pretty sure that seeing how you are still new, you really don't know what your talking about. As an ex Alaska pilot, I would think you knew how to avoid koolaid.

Just reporting the rumors. Take them for what they're worth.

Finally somebody else noticed that this guy thinks he knows it all.
Thank You BoeingBrat.

Why is Omni losing so many pilots, and where do they typically go??? It sounds like they are not getting enough new hires to replace those leaving???

Omni didn't get the SonAir contract although it was something they were really hoping to achieve. No new birds on the way but hiring indefinitely for the near future into both fleets.

I'm sure it is the typical hiring right up until they furlough out of the blue. It's been a little while since they had a surprise furlough, could be due for another.

We had a few at G4, and sadly this was before G4's new contract.

I can see people leaving omni to allegiant for quality of life reasons. 18 days on the road versus day trips almost no overnights is a huge change.

18 days isn't for everyone but the company doesn't hide this fact. You know this when hired so not sure what the issue is

Allegiant schedules are almost un commutable thus for someone that doesn't live in one of their odd bases home basing provides a much better QOL. Some people like the heavy international 1 leg to your overnight flying. It's definitely not for everyone but for most it beats the multi-leg up and down flying of the LCC's. Comparing Allegiant and Omni is like comparing Apples and Oranges.
