Yes, Omni is hiring. My friend interviews there tomorrow for the 767. All he told me was that he had to get to the interview on his own dime, but they put him up for the night. Perhaps an Omni guy can confirm this - but he stressed that (like most places) it is impossible to get an interview without an internal rec/connection.

Omni Intel
I was hired for the Nov class and put it off to the Jan class. In the mean time I decide that Omni was not a good hit for me, so I decided not to accept their offer. Having just gone through the process, I'll share what I know.
Interviews are given mostly to out of work pilots, some exceptions, but that appears to be what they are looking for. You need to know someone to get the interview. If they call on your behave, you will probably get called in, once you are called for an interview it is a very laid back process.
A test on basic FAR/AIM stuff, they do not put a lot of weight on this.
Interview with Chief Pilot, or whomever they can get that day. Just a get to know you type of interview. They spend a lot of time on letting you know what life at Omni will be like, to make sure you know what you are getting into.
Fly a table top MS flight sim, DC-9. Pretty easy. Takeoff out of LAX, fly a heading, join a radial, track inbound for a hold. Track out bound to join the ILS 25R back into LAX. They just want to see if you can keep it somewhat level and that you have a clue about what you are doing.
They take you to lunch, then come back and they talk some more about life at Omni. After that, they will make the offer on the spot. If you are escorted to the lobby for your ride before they make an offer...Sorry, better luck next time. If offered the job, you will then go to fingerprinting and drug testing.
You are on your own getting to the interview. They provide a hotel for the night. If hired, class is about 6 weeks long. You are on your own again for getting to training, but they pay for the hotel and any travel after you start class. Ground school is in TUL and sims can be in MIA, ATL or MSP.
They sound like good people to work for, and they put the crews in decent hotels while on the road. The pay and schedule sux!
Hope this helps. Rumor I heard from a friend in school right now is they want to hire 50 more for the 757/767.
