Mediocrity does not cut it during training at Omni. Recently a former whale driver and B-777 experienced captain washed out during OE on the B-777...

You don't see a lot of Omni Pilots post on here because we're not that kind of pilot group...As long as the owners want an airline, Omni will outlast most of it's competitors do to their business model...Hope this helps...

Everywhere I've flown, the hotel has had internet, even Mexico.
Please excuse my ignorance, but are some hotel locations Omni flies to don't have internet?
Being gone 20 days a month is hard enough. I couldn't stand not being able to Skype or Facetime my wife & kids.

I would much appreciate it...

1. Interview is in Tulsa. Where do you stay and how far from the interview site. I presume the interview is at the airport on Sheridan Rd. Will it be possible to catch a 6pm departure home? Will everything be wrapped up in time?
