We rarely if ever have to stay there as we drop off load and go as you can imagine we don't like to let airplanes stay in those types of places. There are a few places that we fly to or passengers we carry that are a little more sensitive than others and you will be told about them in training."

Simple statement instead of telling every person who has asked about Omni flying for the last few years that, "we cant tell you that, it's classified." How the hell is someone supposed to make a decision about applying there based on that info? Some people might not want that kind of flying and you save them the time of applying and Omni the time of interviewing them only to find out that don't want that kind of job.
So don’t apply to ACMI if you want to know where you’re going to be on February the 18th at 1930 EST. It’s not Atlas, ATI’s or Omni’s fault. That’s the nature of the biz. If someone is that concerned about where they’re flying for their own safety, curiosity or bragging rights, stay at PSA or Pinnacle. Go walk into an interview and voice your curiosity or concern. Maybe HR will better assuage your need to know. If you get past the gate keepers, go post some of your flights on Snapgram, FB or Instachat. I promise, you won’t do a rug dance and the DOD or other gubment entities won’t mind or call you on it.

World of difference between posting movement dates with personnel onboard vs. saying we fly to military bases in Europe... the former is stupid and the latter is what some mall cops were getting up in arms about.

Default Stand your ground

I'm only in the training pool but respect the man that walked my resume in and the individuals that I met throughout the interview process enough to understand that Omni employees do not owe me or anyone else an explanation as to why they are so trusted unless you need to know.

Default Well Said; OPSEC is key.

I'm a Former Navy Officer, so I understand the importance of OPSEC.
Anyone who is trying to manipulate an employee to divulge this info just doesn't get it.

Listen, all ye who come forth on this long-dragging-on forum thread...Omni Air serves many customers who don't advertise, don't market and don't sell tickets to the general public. Many air carriers in other countries and in ours don't discuss or divulge destinations their carrier may serve in the interest of business, competitiveness or security of their customers AND crewmembers.

Simply put, the Omni crews who post on this forum to simply opine or to assist others in gaining employment there should NOT be hassled, cajoled or harassed into divulging sensitive information that they've been trained or counseled NOT to share with anyone that isn't employed by their company.

So, stop teasing/goading and quit trying to find out sensitive information from these posters. If you want to work at Omni and have an interview there, these posters will certainly help you.

Travel, logistics, schedules all listed as critical information that shouldn’t be posted unnecessarily or carelessly. While not illegal, certainly not smart.

I don’t think the later is what is being referred to. You don’t work at an ACMI that has a DOD contract either.

First off, I do work at Omni so I am extremely familiar - I also know what I meant when I said what I said. Second off I know exactly what I'm referring to because I read the posts in this and other threads before the deletions started.

Come on man, idiots on here were posting specific detailed directions on how to find our flights, track them, what identifiers to use, and in a few cases which specific airports to look at. Some even included links to help them do it. The whole conversation is inappropriate to this venue.

We fly DoD personnel transport globally, in addition to other charter work. Enough said. The rest they’ll tell them about at the interview, and more once hired. Does it really need to be more specific than that on this type of venue?

The point was (and for me continues to be) that it does not violate "OPSEC" to say that we fly to military bases on certain continents. It's a fairly valid question to ask before even applying. Answering such a question, the way some of us were trying to, is not "loose lips sinking ships". Jumping all over people who gave a valid answer (which didn't include schedules, etc.) is the embodiment of Lt. Drebin.



I'm not going to waste time arguing about this any further. Most prospective employees should be able to get an idea of the places they will visit by what has been presented here, but please don't try to pass us off as a branch of the military. We are a civilian airline who happens to be contracted by the military, among other customers, for certain flying.
