When are the guys at Omni thinking about going out? Don't want to interview if a walk out is in the immediate future.

I'd just take the interview and see where you stand. If nothing else, you'll probably get put in the pool for a while. There's a good chance a lot of this would be hashed out while you're swimming. Nobody wants a strike here.

Does that imply that only DC10 and 777 slots would be available for newhires? What is the cause?

no DC10 classes -- a few new hires on the 777 -- back log on OE
for the 757/767 -- when that clears up more hiring --

I wouldn't bypass a interview based on that. Your likely to be in the pool until it is all resolved anyways, and worse case scenario, if your hired, you say thanks but no thanks when your offered a class date if your nervous about the current status of negotiations at that point. But, whatever you do, don't just not show up for training and not tell anyone because your not happy with where things are with the union at that point, there is always someone else that would have loved to have been in that spot. I'm not saying you would do something like that, just general advise to anyone.

With that said, do you have a interview schedule? From what I can tell there have not been interviews since March. I'm sure some people would get very excited if they heard that interviews have started again. If not, you might be putting the cart in front of the horse. From what I have read here there are several very qualified people that have been trying to get a interview for quite some time. Either way, good luck too you.
