If you were at Omni for three days, you were not teaching a groundschool class, nor were you instructing in a simulator. You may have been a trainee, first auditing a ground school or getting trained to instruct at Omni, but if you were there for the three days you claim, you were not an instructor. Your first lie.

This was a year ago, so September, 2022? You, and two (or three) other "instructors" quit, didi you? All of you had three days employment experience with the company?

"Three of the four instructors who were qualified?" You mean there instructors who weren't qualified? You're sure you want to stand by that story?

An instructor signed himself off for a recurrent? You've got records to back that up, of course. Don't you? You really have been a benevolent soul, not running to the FAA with your plethora of dirt that you dug up in just three days of not instructing.

You stayed up late helping others get through their online training? It's individual training. Students are supposed to do that themselves, aren't they? It's timed, and students must spend a minimum amount of time getting through the courses? Yes? How did you "help them," exactly? Sit with them and listen to the material alongside them? Feed them answers (that would be cheating, wouldn't it)? Log in alongside them and try to reduce the amount of time they spent (that would be cheating too, wouldn't it)? How did staying up late with a student who is watching videos online, help the student? Were you the coffee maker?

Omni instructors don't do that, do they? Of course not, but then...you weren't actually an Omni instructor. What were you, exactly? Be truthful. You can say "trainee." It doesn't hurt as much as you might think.

You say that you "didn't want to be a part of that." You didn't want to be a part of staying up late with students, or helping them cheat? Omni instructors aren't a part of either, so what was your role again there, captain?

The tale you're telling isn't really possible, is it? Too bad I'm "blocked." You've a lot to answer. Shame that you can't. Shame's on you.

I have offers from all 3 ATSG companies and am trying to decide which one to accept for the 10/3 class. Currently leaning towards Omni because I’m prior military and am interested in their flying but was aware of what happened with one of the previous classes being let go while I was at my previous employer. Any current info would be greatly appreciated, TIA.

I have friends and myself who work for all 3, and once you join one of them, you cant switch to another ATSG brand due to some agreement they have with eachother. Contract wise, Omni tops them all as of now. Regarding the guys who were let go, the person who made that call is no longer here. Those that were let go just prior to thier ride got paid the whole time and brought back within 2 months. I dont forsee that happening again.

for example, coming from, let’s say, the Middle East, it typically stops in Eastern Europe, followed by the British isles (we all know the exact places but I’m trying to be discrete) before hopping the pond. The airplane could easily do that in 2 legs maybe even 1 sometimes. Why all the stops?
is it because the FAs don’t have proper rest bunks like the major airlines??
Or some other reason I’m not thinking of? The only time is does 14+ hours is ferry flights; whereas the majors frequently use their 777s on live flights of that length ..
