I predicted middle of last year we’d be upgrading before March. Happened even earlier.

Omni is not busier than normal. Covid and attrition has caused an issue with available crews. No expansion planned for the near future and hiring and upgrades are for attrition only.

define normal?

But I agree, I neglected to consider the covid staffing effects. That certainly had more impact. Good catch.

Being at Omni for more than 2 decades allows for more liberty of the word “Normal” than a pilot who has been at Omni a couple of years I guess…so there is my definition.

Would that be the pre-Covid normal, or the new normal?

Business or better is only on international legs longer than 3.5 hours right? So you could be in coach on a transcon?
