It was initially signed as an 8 month contract. This contract was negotiated with the sole purpose of being TDY for just the pilots. There is the possibility of extending the contract, but I'm pretty sure that's standard for all Omni's contracts.
For those of you still thinking about coming to Omni in the future, this means that you if you get the 767 you WILL be sent on a 90 day TDY, if this contract gets extended. There are no provisions to get you home on days off or send your family to see you while you are gone. Just something to think about for those of you still wanting to look at Omni.

Not dismissing your concerns but I'm sure whatever the terms of service are Omni has the upper hand in this one.
Good luck and well wishes!

Hotel is paid for while you are there, but when you leave on a trip you have to check out every time. Plus, you better hope that you don't have vacation during your TDY or you get to spend it in Madrid unless you want to pay to get yourself back and forth.
Also, we have guys on furlough so we probably aren't interviewing, but you do realize that as long as Omni has this contract and you get on the 767 you are going to be junior assigned to Madrid for 90 days...let me repeat that...90 DAYS!!!
