I’d say you should aim at any of the wholly owneds.

The flow throughs are a great deal, and all it takes is getting hired at any of them.

You didn’t mention fixed wing experience. If you have a bunch of king air or jet time, you could be competitive for mainline.

I wouldn’t avoid the situation on the app or if asked about it in an interview. Get good interview prep and they will coach you on how to handle it.

Honestly is absolutely necessary with these things. A situation like that is not a deal breaker. An attempt to hide it would be.
