You guys should be proud of yourselves to have brought in the IBT. I have worked with the last two directors there personally, and I have found DB to be a bulldog when it comes to using Teamster resources in order to force companies to the bargaining table. Yeah, I know these companies rather well.

Sorry, but Omni's pay rates are low, particularly for the type of flying you do. I've known several guys that worked there, and there were things they liked about the place. Pay wasn't one of them.

No offense brother, but voting in those hard core SOB's from the IBT means that there are some real problems to be worked out. I personally would not like to work for a company that pays no per diem, but maybe fifteen years ago I may have thought differently. But then, that's me. When Omni gets a fair contract, with the help of the IBT, then they would probably be a great company to work for. I worked for a company that had great captains (myself possibly included), flying into some really tough environments, but it was not until there was legal protection from the union that it was worth working for. For now, I'll keep my job at Micky D's. Next year, assistant manager.
