ATI has somewhere between 15 and 20 flights that pass through CVG & ILN every day. It's probably much easier than you think to build schedules that minimize the number of commercial deadheads that would be required. At a minimum rate of 30 pilots passing through CVG/ILN every day, that's 900 transitions per month, which is a lot of opportunities to move 500 pilots in and out of the system without needing a deadhead. And the more Amazon flights you add, the easier it gets as more of them will be going through CVG.
