No limit. Typically your first day always starts as shortcall. Apart from that all lines are awarded as long call or known flying.

As a piece of advice, do not come to an ACMI expecting lines and known schedules. The company owns you for 16-18 days a month... just plan on that. Apart from 117 and very limited language in our contract do not expect any sort of scheduling system or practices like you may have seen at a regional.

Note: Omni is much better than other ACMIs at having you fly the known flying you are awarded.

Thanks again. I do not live in one of the gateway domiciles listed. If I am fortunate to be offered a position, I am trying to figure out the number of times I’d have to JS and spend a night in a hotel. Is there any flexibility on the gateways?

You go to and from work once (possibly twice) a month with an airline like Omni, as opposed to maybe twice a week with a traditional passenger airline. When you're on the road you will not see home and don't need to worry about getting to/from anywhere. That's on the company to move you where they want you.

I assume that gateway list on the APC profile page is all of the cities? I live in PHX now which I see is a gateway city, but the wife and I have talked about moving to Hawaii in the future. I don’t suppose PHNL is a gateway city that’s not listed is it? Definitely not a deal breaker, just more curiosity than anything.

Gateway cities are in the lower 48 states. In general, Alaska and Hawaii are considered “international” at Omni. So Honolulu is not a gateway city.

Roger. I kind had of figured that may be the case. Thanks for the info.

Thank you for the reply about the jumpseating question.

How much do your pilots fly right now per year? Rough estimate wise?

Don’t you just email a resume to the address listed on the website?
