Wright cyclones - - - -the sound of power and freedom !!!!!!!!!!!!

If my reading comprehension is up to par, that is 20 pilots a month through the end of the year (120 pilots added). Is there some sort of new business / fleet expansion going on or is this just to combat attrition?

I hope I have a realistic shot with regional embryo jet time of 4-5k

Just curious, Wright; from where did you get this information?

Go to their website; positions are advertised.

Omni has hired from all sorts of experience....On the B-777 the pilots that came from Great Lakes flying 1900's have done an excellent job transitioning to large jet international flying...The big thing Omni is looking for is PIC turbine experience and how you will adjust to long stretches away from home...Omni equally looks at pilots from 1900's to 747 PIC experience...The Chief Pilot is a good guy and straight shooter, so ask the hard questions if you get hold of him...The pay is not at the top of the group, but Omni has never been late, Omni pays their bills on time, and they don't owe any money to anyone...Most of the airplanes are owned out right..They play hardball with the union contract language, (That's our fault as a pilot group to let it happen) but what airline doesn't these days...THEY ALL DO!

Are the junior guys still stuck doing that 90 day TDY in Bolivia?

Oh I'd be all over that..... NOT......

What are the schedules like over there?

I am mostly in turbo-props now, don't guess I have a shot at something like that lol

That goes away in the fall for now....

Just to make one correction.. The fleet manager for the 767 is Daniel Ramsey. He goes by Adam Ramsey, however. Just want to make sure you guys have the correct names when sending your resumes.

You'd be surprised by the varied backgrounds here... Turbo prop guys do a heck of a job!

As of right now the 777 doesn't have any TDY, ie: Madrid/Bolivia, so if you get assigned to that fleet you should be safe for the time being. On the 767 side, you'll most likely go the Madrid for the 90 day TDY as soon as you are done with IOE and the group that is there finishes their 90 days.

That being said, the 767 has far better trips in my opinion, and I don't think many will challenge me on that.

On a non TDY schedule we're on the hook for 18 days a month. It's usually done in one or two blocks of work days. 12 or 13 days off a month depending on if it's a 30 or 31 day month. They can hold you out for four extra days involuntarily, but it's only happened to me once in over 3 years.

People on these forums like to do a lot of Omni bashing, but there are a bunch if guys here that really enjoy their jobs.. Me being one of them. If you want to work at Omni and you can deal with the schedule, they will want to hire you.

is the junior airplane the 76? wondering if i should apply.. Reservist with 2130 TT 1083 PIC 1770 Multi 1870 Turbine

No such posting
 

Where is this supposed Omni hiring boom posted? No such info on company email. Sounds good though.

The MAD airline (I'll leave it unnamed for security reasons) took delivery of a 767-300 in May so those TDYs may go away come fall....

go to www.oai.aero - Omni's website

This is geared towards my fellow regional pilots, as I'm at the regionals on an RJ. I recently managed to speak to one of the above mentioned gentleman. His advice is to stay 121 (the corporate guys aren't working out very well in training), upgrade when possible, keep building jet time and every 3-6 months send in an updated resume. They're wanting to hire all the North American and World guys.... as they have so much experience that they could be Captains at Omni if the contract allowed it. When they do start hiring us regional guys I doubt it will matter if you have time on either props or jets. I suspect that it will be awhile before any regional guys get hired, but do as I do and keep applying if you want to go there.

I had a few contacts at my present employer that knew the CP there and I sent in my resume, he replied back pretty quickly and said i met minimums . He said he would like to get me in for an interview in July for the next round. Guess we will see what happens......

I'd like to see where it actually says OAI is hiring 10 a month per fleet. From what I know there is on going interviewing. But rarely if ever has OAI hired that many people per month over that stretch of time. Furthermore, those who have been tracking OAI know that they don't broadcast future plans to anyone, including the employees. So maybe this is the plan, and maybe it is posted on line somewhere. I haven't heard it or seen it. But who knows anything is possible.

10 in a class / probably 6-8 for the 767 4-2 for the 777
total nowhere near the numbers mentioned but maybe 40 total nearer the actual number - just a guess but that is what some good rumors are

Ive been trying for years to get a call for an interview with Omni, then stopped trying about 2 years ago. Whats the secret to getting a call? 6200TT 2300TPIC 5700ME....75% of it 121, the rest 135...

Marry the CP's daughter.

The last Atlas class reportedly had 3 RJ pilots (out of 12)...two of them were FOs.

Atlas is another one I couldnt get the attention of...must be the PAQ and HR machine. Too many gigs due to a shutdown and a furlough....

I'm trying to go to Atlas also.... Omni and Atlas are my top 2. Downloaded and started reading a PDF on my iPAD that's about Oceanic flying. If HR would know about how serious I am about it.

Has anyone gotten a call for an interview?

The hiring came from the front office and the training department. They said around 80 pilots at least (around 30 have already started since they started hiring). Also there is a rumor of more planes by the end of the year. 19 total plane 4 777s and 15 767s; not sue I would believe this one! We currently have 2 777s and 9 767s. Omni as always believed in slow steady growth. I think this is a lot quicker than I would expect of them. Who knows I'm not in the front office. They have upgraded 20 FOs to Captain since the beginning of May.

If Omni is picking up all of World and NAA's flying that isn't hard to believe at all. When the number of carriers diminishes, the plate gets fuller for the survivors.

I received an email back from the CP a few days ago to expect an interview in July on the next round they have going. Anyone got insight on pay?

$70/hr, 60 hr guarantee.

check the Airline Profiles charter section for latest info on pay

I guess anything is possible in this crazy industry. OAI might have trouble finding pilots however. I have a very good source that indicates that UPS is doubling their fleet in the next 24 months and will be hiring 350 pilots per month starting August 1st. Good luck everyone!

Now that's a good rumor! My apologies, pero muy dificil de creer.

350/month?

That's logistically impossible. Maybe you meant to say 350/year? That's a bit more manageable.

When I was there...we heard 1 more 777 every month..then they downgraded and furloughed! Good luck..enjoyed my time there..well most of it ;)

This doesn't even qualify as a rumor. Good thing it's so ridiculous that it will give anyone with 1/2 a brain a good laugh.

Post quoted info such a a UPS Vacancy bid and maybe we'll revisit the plausible!!!

Where are some of the standard, if that's even possible, routes or places y'all go to? I see on flightaware quite a few las-hnl runs, but that's all I've seen. Maybe has to do with when I'm looking at it!

I don't work there anymore but the LAS-HNL route is daily. That's staffed by LAS based pilots and there are pros and cons to that. The home based pilots are often in Shannon Ireland, Kuwait City, Bishkek Kyrgistan, Atlanta, Dallas, Baltimore, Ramstein, and a few others. On and off there is a 767 in Seattle doing runs to Japan as well. I also see airplanes in HNL on military charters often.
