Default Re: Need opinions on Charter gig

I think Omni is a great opportunity, but there id one major consideration that no one has mentioned.

You will have to be prepared to be away..and i REALLY mean AWAY, for around 20 days a month. 20 days in a row, not out and backs with a day in between. The way the schedules work, you could possibly be gone for around 40 days straight when the schedules come together the wrong way. This is a serious consideration if you have any reasons like a wife, gf, kids that you want to be around for.

You definately need to consider the possibility of being stuck as an FE for longer than you want as well. If you get stuck in the FE seat for a year, then get furloughed, you are SOL as far as being flying current.

Other than those I think it would be a great opportunity to fly a really cool plane all over the world.
