I was told face to face in ground school that if you're asked to depart out of an airport other than your assigned, you'll be given a rental car. Now, RJ, you know as well as I do we are both new hires and this might be laughed at by the "regulars" but imagine you driving down south to one of two airports in your car. Technically when you come back from your tip you have to go back to that airport to retrieve your vehicle, not your "base" airport. Again, I know Omni giving you a rental to travel south might/will/could be laughed upon. But, if they did provide you with one, you wouldn't have to worry about paying to park in long term nor employee parking. Now for tolls, that's a different story. Again, I am just a newbie and have no experience with how you, we, everyone, I will get told something and something else be the actual scenario. I think RJ, you and I both have experience with that from a previous life....

 

Dude. It's Dude. I'll be passing through LAS on my drive out west on Wednesday and might up the road show assuming I am eligible...i.e. dues paid, etc. I'll hopefully get clarification on this item and will call you. This is one of the big things I balked at... my second airport is on the cusp at 121 miles.

Cheers.

Really?

 

Thanks, Dude. I'll be waiting to hear from you on it. My offer still stands if you need help moving.

Depending on the IOE situation, I will try to go to one of the shows in ATL next week. Either way, let me know what you find out.

 

As with our previously mentioned life, if it isn't written in black and white then I won't count on it happening. If you were told this, I hope they write a side letter agreeing to this.

I'm hopeful that this company will honor a contract moreso than our previous ghetto employer and cesspool parent company.

 

I haven't seen the details of the new deal, but I must say that any airline where a 777 or 767 Captain can't at least reliably make $150-200K annually would be a complete embarrassment to the industry. Please tell me that Omni 777 Captains can make at least $180-200K annually under the new package.

What will newhire 767/DC10/777 FOs make under the new agreement first year?

 

well lets see a United CA at 12 years on the 76 makes guarantee of 133k......American CA at 12 years makes 137k guarantee on the 76....AA CA on 777 at 12 years guarantee is 157k..... Continental 777 CA at 12....166k.....

All these Legacy carriers are marginal by your standards Bill.... Flamebait thats all your purpose is here...

 

post deleted. It's not worth it.

 

Wrong Herc. This is more commentary about how pi$$ poor our industry as become over the last 5-10 years. If an Omni 777 Captain can't break $150K then that is pathetic. Don't get me wrong - nothing against the Omni pilots. I am all in favor of having them make as much as possible. It's not their fault. It is just sad if that is the case. I agree that the major pilots are suckin' it too - everyone except the SWA/AT pilots who get paid a fantastic amount for their flying/aircraft. Good for them. I bet there are mid-level SWA FOs who make more than $150K without sweating it much. Just hoping that the Omni 767/777 Captains can be paid a "reasonable" amount given their experience, skills and rough schedule... That's all I meant.

 

Just wondering if you have gone on a thread of EVERY other carrier making the same comments thats all.
