This is the first I've heard about this - was there a memo I missed?!?

Pilots will likely be junior assigned. Omni is having problems finding qualified applicants at wide body pay rates, let alone narrow body rates, which are substantially less.
Sounds like yet, another ATSG/Omni train wreck in the making. Time will tell.

home basing isnt going away, thats a non-starter
I heard its 1 pax A321 and 1 cargo as the first two.
