That is good to hear. The lifestyle and working pattern of Omni fits me well, which is why I still have an interest even though I have found other work since first interviewing with them. But because I have other work, that pays pretty well, I can afford to be picky and look at all aspects of it. Which is why when I hear stuff like F&H coming on board to handle negotiations (my previous experience with them really was quite negative), and the company throwing out the idea of removing home basing, it is enough to give me some pause. I know to some people, for some inexplicable reason, that sounds like me saying "the sky is falling". To me it just sounds like someone who can afford to be picky, actually taking advantage of the ability to be picky and carefully consider all aspects. Having been through 9/11, SARS, the 2008 market crash, and Covid, it is nice to be in that position for a change.

I don't think he dislikes Ford and Harrison so much as he is frightened of them. I get the image of a shivering rabbit.
Not looking forward to sharing a cockpit with this guy. OAI may fit him, but I don't think he fits OAI.

OAI pilots and the IBT will be just fine and can more than hold their own at the table with them.

Sun Country is nearing a deal on their CBA that will include 43% raises and top CA rates above Delta. That’s $286 ph on the 737 at Delta.
A Direct Contribution of 15% and a switch from line to PBS bidding.
The PBS can be good or bad depending upon the rules and paring generation.
While attrition isn’t that great yet; if everybody keeps outpacing us folks will start leaving in large numbers. I think they are seeing that with a few folks no showing on class dates happening more often.
I like this company and I hope they continue to value their pilot group enough to make the investments to keep it from shrinking through attrition.

He just said what the connection to Omni is: others are offering higher wages and people are either leaving or not showing up. The draw from other companies may have an effect, and that effect influences not only who stays or who shows up, but negotiations, too.
Rising tide, and all that.
