Yes and no. I bailed from G4, but when I was there the company was TDYing guys left and right for months a a time just like Omni. And yes, they did it out of seniority and with no regard to yor personal situation. It got so bad jr CAs were asking to be downgraded. The record was 18 months straight... 2-3 consecutive was common. Some "home every night" with an asterisk.

But I digress, the ex-OAI guys I talked to actually said they came because of the 1 yr upgrade and because YR2 CA pay equaled year 7 at OAI. They also got sick of the 14 hour deadheads in coach. Sadly, again this is the old contract. I left G4 awhile ago so I hope things have gotten better.

I am wondering what competitive hiring minimums are at Omni. I am sure I am on the low end if even competitive at all, but I have 2800 TT and 1400 TPIC and am at a 135 cargo op flying a 1900. Had an internal rec but haven't heard anything in a month and a half.
