Best of luck to those applying and going to Omni! I interviewed last spring and received a CJO. Unfortunately, they were quite backed up in the training department and experiencing significant delay; by the time a class date became available, I had already decided to pursue a master’s degree and didn’t think I could balance an initial with my additional course-work.

Does anyone know how they view folks that reapply after leaving the pool (I’m assuming poorly)? While I likely made the responsible choice, I still believe I missed out on a great opportunity.

Anyways, sounds like things are going well here! Best of luck, everyone!

What? That’s what street Captain means. Immediate upgrade.

Yes.....I know what it means. Please note outside of the street Captains ( since I’m asking the question, I don’t meet the requirements), I’m asking what is the normal upgrade time and given the street Captains, I suspect “normal upgrade” will slow down given that there are new Captains and so I’m asking an opinion on time....

Even after the street captains get on online, if you meet the times, you can attempt upgrade. This of course baring any major change in other factors. I meet the time, but still want to see some more international ops before. This place isn’t a regional upgrade. We’ve had a few upgrade failures recently.

The internal company mins are you must meet part 121 upgrade minimums in addition to:

(A) 6,000 hours of total time of which 2,000 hours are as Pilot in Command ("PIC"); or
(B) 24 months of Crewmember experience on Company aircraft and 3,000 pilot hours total time and 500 pilot hours in Company aircraft.

So what extra did the DECs bring to (A) so they didn't need (B)...

It's either/or. Presumably, they meet A already (and I'm guessing quite a bit more.). FWIW, I also meet A, work here, and personally would not try upgrade without significant experience in this sort of flying.

I don’t see any pilot positions open on their website..
Are they hiring despite what it appears??

2: is there any overtime flying these days?

3: is there any soft money that is in the contract not mentioned on
APC?

4: what is the average Captain upgrade time these days?

5: what are the fleet expansion plans?

6: is there a lot of attrition?

Thanks!!!

Well the website does say this. So I'm pretty sure they are done.

"This position is currently not accepting applications."
