I remember when there wasn’t a limit on how much one could spend on the holiday dinner, and alcohol was included. Of course there was that “one” pilot who screwed that up. Ok maybe all of us screwed it up, but the stories!

 

You poop in an elevator ONE time, and it's all anyone ever remembers...

 

Still, it's a very good company to be at, which has become even more apparent during the pandemic. Management really did a good job at quickly re-tasking the planes that were on programs that lost flying, and they captured enough work elsewhere to keep everybody employed with no furloughs, and even managed to run a few new hire classes during the year.
Job security/stability has value too.


Even then, there is always room for improvement.

 

Wow, that’s such an encouraging read... I came really close to joining the Omni ranks last year but the timing was off and I had to leave the pool. Hopefully there will be another opportunity in my future!

 

Any updated info as far as when classes might start up again?

 

None that I'm aware of. I'm scheduled to fly with a super-senior dude next week, I will ask the appropriate and usual questions and post here if there's anything interesting.

I may occasionally joke, as we all do, but I agree with Cujo (and everyone I've ever heard express an opinion who *currently* works here) that this is a danged good gig. I don't for a second imagine that happy pilots is the *first* priority of any airline management group (nor should it be), but it is my sincere impression that Omni management has a basically "we're in this together" attitude, and that goes a long way with me. It remains to be seen whether the, uhm, "more adversarial" relationship one sees at other ATSG companies will filter down. I don't see any big signs of that yet, and I look forward to the vaccine and what I hope will be greater opportunities for the company, and the attendant increase in hiring.

 

Thanks for the info. Another poolie here anxiously awaiting a phone call.

 

The second B767 simulator is in at the schoolhouse for about a month.
It’s a normal traditional panel, not an ISIS flat screen.

 

Id say make the word companies singular. ATI is not in an adversarial relationship with ATSG. The other company on the other hand, it would appear that’s true.

 

For a month? It’s just temporary?
