You're really asking 3 different questions here:
In case you missed it, the Majors are hiring a lot of pilots. Couple that with Amazon Prime seeking 767 guys and there's your staff attrition.
Nothing, IF you are willing to study and expend the effort to learn the systems/procedures the way Omni wants you to. If you won't put in the study effort, you're cutting your own throat.
There's an interesting question. There have been Beech 1900 guys/gals who have done well and ex-heavy jet Captains who haven't. Again, the common denominator appears to be the DETERMINATION and DEDICATION of the individuals as opposed to the quality of their background.

So before you speak check your facts. Wait maybe you should keep speaking cause your proving many peoples thoughts.

I have flown with him several times as both a Captain an FO. I have spent many layovers with him all over the world. One of the most professional pilots I have ever flown with. Fleet Manager is his title but he is much more than that. He is a leader! I have watched him motivate crew members and defused confrontational situations to get the flight done in a safe and productive manner. He has done more to benefit the Omni pilot group than anyone else. I left Omni before he took over the 767 Fleet. I'm sure he would have been one of the best bosses I could have worked for.

Likes to laugh about it with the interviewee and the CP.
Facts: FM running up bar bills on company card.
Guess that's why I can't get hired I am a non-Drinker.
Guess I am one of the lucky ones.
Cheers FM.

I'm guessing they want their new hires to be big boys and girls and don't hold their hands the way regionals do these days. On that note I've heard of people literally almost crashing the sim and still passing check-rides.

During your several hour long interview did you not discuss compensation (or lack there of), work rules (or lack there of), retirement plan (or lack there of), benefits (or lack there of) plans on how the company plans to grow and obtain new business (or lack there of)? If not, when on your next interview you might want to ask those questions too.
