Schedules and bidding
Dudes and dudettes currently flying the line, thank you for giving us a glimpse into the company, type of flying, schedules, etc... It sounds like the new contract was a game changer.
I do have some additional questions.
1. Are FAs and maintenance personnel unionized?
2. Are they generally happy with their contracts?
3. How is the work relationship between the pilot, FA, and maintenance, and management sides of the house?
4. Would anyone be willing to post samples of their monthly flying schedule (with aircraft type and seniority status to add perspective)?
5. Bidding-would anyone be willing to provide samples of the type of choices you can bid on?
Appreciate the info!

I知 trying to go into this new world with as much info as I can; nothing less, nothing more. If these questions seem or are inappropriate, by all means ignore or remove them. If they are taboo or go against an unwritten code, please let me know as well.
Bottom line, I don稚 want to distract from this thread.

I appreciate those of you who sent PMs to answer my questions.
Thank you!
Another question I have is regarding home basing vs traditional commuting. For those of you that have done both, what would you say is the average annual savings from not having to commute at Omni versus commuting at previous employers? Along the same lines, how would you qualitatively measure the personal gains from no stress, positive space flying at Omni? I can only imagine it's tough to put a tangible value on this, but I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the matter.

It makes for peace of mind for sure.
