If you aren't tied to the CVG area, you could take one of the light twins when able and fly morning or afternoon turns and be home everyday.
It really just depends on you. Time left vs money vs your QOL choice.
Thanks for the insight. 22 years left so not as long as I had liked but something to work with. Part of the lost Gen that got furloughed after 9/11 and stuck at the regionals for 9 years. Then 11 years of ACMI. I have a friend that lives in SDF that wants to rent me a room in his house so doing turns wouldn’t be a bad option either after a while. I’m more interested in SDF than equipment. The pilot recruiter said they like to put Atlas people on the heavy side. Not sure if it makes a difference for them training wise.
