Omni?
 
Is Omni running classes right now? How long is their training program?

Any word on future interviews?

Thanks

I think 2-3 classes a monthfor the next 6 months

Okay, now let's count how many seconds it is before someone points out that Omni isn't a major...

(For the record, I'm not doing so. Just getting tired of every post about an ACMI carrier getting jumped because some wiseacre feels it's in the wrong section. We'll all post in the ACMI section as soon as it exists.)

Good to hear that there's some movement out there.

One class a month for until further notice.

I guess you're on the 757/767? Where do you usually fly those? Is that more senior than the DC10?

Currently you are hired into one fleet, very few people cross to the other. They had some 10 folks cross over to the Boeing side a year or so ago, but it does not happen often. Don't know of anyone who has ever gone from the Boeing side to the 10 side. As the union issues are worked out, that may change. Possible fleet changes may change that as well.

What are the normal trips on each aircraft? I know there is a lot of MAC flying, but what about other charters?

Is the main page accurate? Is it $51/hr with a 60 hour guarantee?

I figure I may be missing something since under 40K seems low for international heavy equipment. Wouldnt mind throwing an app in..just trying to get facts straight and ask those who actually know.

Also, on their hiring page it gives you an email. Do they simply want you to just email an attachment of your resume and cover letter?

I haven't been able to apply online; the link doesn't go anywhere, and the main employment page doesn't have a link for FO. Are they done accepting applications?

Sorry to say the figure is correct. I am hoping the Union can fix that and soon. Most of the flying is DOD with scheduled run LAS-HNL about 5 days a week. Shannon is a big stop for us. Lots of Kuwait, Germany, and the Stans.
Its hard to put a finger on where we wont go really. Lots of good people and the flying is not as bad as it sounds, at least as far as I am concerned. Could be better, could be worse.

I am sure that payscale will get a boost at some point.

Id like to apply just not sure since most of what I have read is about 20 on 10 off. May be better for the single folk (or want to be single folk).

Thanks for your info.

hey ultra, sent you a pm if you have a second to look at it

FuelJetA 10-09-2010 11:13 AM

I just posted a research thread on Omni. They are hiring but I don't know how many. Any way, have a look and you can find that one. Hope it helps!

About 6 weeks in Tulsa for ground school, around a month in DEN or MSP for the sim. Sit at home about a month before IOE starts.

Anyone know when the next classes are for Nov and Dec? Are they holding one in Dec with the holidays coming up? Do they need you available in 2 weeks or are you able to select a later class date. Dont want to upset them in requesting a later date, but have a lot of obligations in early Dec. Would cx them if had to, but just curious if you can take a later class or if you have no choice. Thanks

Still doesn't help too much with my question... I said willing to cancel... even things like a wedding and graduation.

nope - Omni has alot of resumes on file - if you pass on a class date they will just go to the next inline for that slot and your resume will go to the tail end and maybe the circular file - just alot of pilots looking for work out there
