Just spent 7 days and nights waiting for different airplanes that where AOG. Not sure what's going on ,but we have had a lot of long time mechanics leave for greener pastures. This puts a great deal of pressure on all. Omni is not staffed for the mess this creates. So most crews are left out in the cold with no idea of what's next . Omni has been a lot better in the past with keeping the airplanes in the air ,and in very good condition. I don't think our customers will put up with this for very long.The market for pilots and mechanics has changed,Omni just doesn't know it

In 15 months I've been held out twice for 18 days. I would say the average is about 12. This is of course dependent on your bidding. The 7/7 schedules seem to get used less. I choose the bids with 18/12 because even though 18 is long (or the possibility of 18), having 12 off in a row feels like a vacation. And some of the bids are 12/12/6 or 11/12/7. There are varying schedules but they all have some combination of 18 on and 12 off.
