Just learned today, classes are resuming. June 8th class for the 767.

 

Will they get typed before they get fired this time?

 

Looks like the company needs more hostages, I guess the last group they sent home have moved on to better things.

 

I'm guessing there's no a lot of interest when you literally fire a guy as he's about to go into the sim for his type ride. Heard United hiring department found out and immediately offered interviews.

 

I doubt this statement, but agree it was a stinky deal the company dealt these pilots.

 

The last class was sent home. There were 2 pilots that were released 2 HOURS before their type ride! There was zero consideration given to these individuals, their families, or the fact that they all quit jobs to come to Omni. They were kicked to the curb like pieces of trash. If you take a job at Omni, you have zero protection from the idiocy until you are typed. Management knows this and shafted a bunch of good dudes! Pilots are leaving and in fact have been encouraged to do so by upper management. "If you want Delta rates, go to Delta" is a quote from our VP of Ops. I would not recommend Omni to anyone at this point. If you cannot get on at a major take the $100K sign on bonus at a regional.

AND take a look at ATSG's (owns Omni) stock performance over the past year. It's in the crapper. This is not a good place to be at the moment.

 

I know two who are now UAL pilots, we had guys in 77 training going to AA interviews during sim training from our class!

 

After I was offered a job at Omni I was told by TK "If you don't like our working conditions, just leave". And I thought, wow, some things just don't have to be said. I guess things haven't changed much. 😂

 

No different from the majors. They’ll hire, fill classes, train, and push the red button without remorse for the folks being put on the street. The Good New and Bad News Joke, as the toad comes to the classroom, or simulator briefing room, just be fore a rating ride. “The bad news is you are all furloughed… The good news, is I’m still on the payroll”. Same airline… different paint job.

 

Oh, really? When was the last time a major sent someone home two hours before their type ride? Probably very recently, since it seems to happen all the time!

​​​​​Be serious. This is A-List scumbaggery.

I really enjoyed my time at Omni, and used to recommend it. That's over.
