Atlas has more long term stability, but Omni does things no other airline in the world can do on a moments notice. Omni has true home basing, Atlas does not. You’ll work more per month and per day at Atlas then Omni. You’d earn more money at Atlas then Omni but you will work for it, Omni has substandard retirement, for now, this will change when the new contract is done however all signs point to a bit of a wait for that. To be perfectly honest if you don’t live in a major’s base and you think Omni will last until you retire you will not find a 121 with a better quality of life then Omni. But there are parts of the contract that need to be brought up to new industry standards.
And you are correct Omni has a much more relaxed schedule. Atlas has an AMC base that is know for its good schedules, that’s the entire company at Omni especially on the 767.
