It is true that there have been some unsuccessful candidates. But I don't think it's a blanket statement about Omni training in particular. It's not AQP training. It has more to do with prior experience and whether or not you are a self-starter. There were several 135 turboprop guys in the classes last year and this year. I've found the training department instructors and examiners to be very good at what they do.

I think the Triple staffing has something to do with it. I've broken guarantee the last two months. More flying, less long call sitting. They are adding Triple CAs and the last several classes have all been 777 so the staffing issue may ease once everyone gets finished with IOE.

"Shame" is the understatement of the year, on many levels and with many facets.

The pilots ratified it so we have nobody to blame but ourselves

It did save the jobs of the DC10 guys, who otherwise would have been dropped like used condoms when Omni dumped that fleet; that's a pretty big deal. Beyond that, most commuter outfits have it better. Mesa FA's have KCM.

And going back to the current vaudeville act, AKA: negotiations (if you can call it that), with regard to both Spaulding and Judge Smalls, the metaphors are pathetically and deeply accurate.

Kinda like the recent presidential election. You look at the players and you don't know whether to laugh or puke.
