To any one thinking of coming here now.Do your self a favor and just go to Airborne or Atlas for the heavy jet time, because if OMNI sends the 767 airframes to Amazon you will be out of a job,They will not think twice.The other airlines have More pay less work and maybe a better contract in the years to come. Here, it is a private airline that answers to no one. We have had a lot of pilots quit in the last few months,this last threat will make anyone sitting on the fence, jump ship my self included

From what I hear from friends at Omni. Union Negotiations are not going well and management has threatened to sell the airplanes to other airlines. i.e. Downsizing. Maybe someone can confirm this info.

Everyone thinks they are already gone and they just haven't announced it yet. I really thought they would have announced it today and sent out furlough letters as a Christmas present to the pilot group.

Aw that sucks. I guess my job search isn't over. Figured they would wait until the new year, to fire up training, but this isn't sounding promising.

Don't believe everything you read here. The only reason they aren't hiring is the training backlog with 4 classes of F/Os and 12 CA upgrades all trying to get through IOE.

The same management that's making these threats did the same back at my previous airline. They say they will "shut it down" and that's what they want you to believe. It's all a scare tactic to take another sub par contract.
Fact is, they are making way too much money to shut it down and everyone else's pilot expenses are going up also. The market price will adjust.
Stay strong !! Or stay at the bottom.

Don't listen to Packrat or FL450, both of them like to think they know it all and have all the facts, when they don't.
There is no backlog and they are continuing classes as scheduled. Keep trying and make a call and check on your status.
Good Luck.
