training / international device-chargers
 
Is the training good?? I’ve heard they have a high-success rate but also had a recent failure- most likely the person didn’t put in the effort?? I don’t know, of course.

For those already there.. how do you keep iPhones, etc charged while on the road, internationally? Is there a universal adapter for plugs??
Does t-mobile automatically work worldwide or would I have to get a special plan, if hired there?

My own biased personal opinion is We have some of the best instructors in the industry from what I've seen and been exposed to. They want you to succeed, and they are great at altering their teaching technique to meet the needs and understanding of the individual student. Class sizes are typically smaller, so you get more direct personal attention. Having opened our own training center has been a great plus at having more control over the entire training process. We still use outside facilities when needed. It's a 121 program not an AQP program. That probably will not change. the six month cycle forces guys into the books at least twice per year. We aren't a cargo hauler flying 80 hours a month with 1/2 of it being your own stick time. You'll fly 25-55 hours a month on average which includes IRO duty. You'll likely get one leg and one landing per month and 2-3 other IRO flights. Some months are busier, some less. One of our biggest issues is just keeping guys landing current. It's not unusual to end up going to training to reset landings.

You can always plug it into the cockpit iphone charger. Most guys have a travel kit that does multi country adapters. T-Mobile seems to be the most popular, and it's worked everywhere I've gone. I carry one of these for power adapters.

Also would anyone care to comment on CBA negotiations and what the pilot group wants in the new contract? I would assume retirement would be up there on that list.

Also interested about any comments on CBA negotiations...is there any ?

Well said by Cujo.

One thing I thought was neat was that Omni gives each new hire class access to one or two vehicles. That is a nice touch.

I'm sure that'll make up for (near) the industry bottom retirement package.

Nope, it won't, but it's something that they offer that they don't need to.

Anyone have some insight on the virtual interview process? Seems like they were just recently doing in person and switched back to remote from what I was reading on aviationinterviews.com

Is there still a sim evaluation?

Logbook review after virtual interview?

You guys use the Flight Bag and specifically the Boieng OPT for your performance calculations?
(Some cheap US airlines do not use them on the 777 for some reason)

teledyne OPS program. May be changing as they are evaluating a different program.
