She’s smart enough to ask what’s the best move for my career though.
Seriously, what is it about CVG that she likes that she couldn’t find somewhere else?
Unless it’s for her career opportunities then you need to decide who takes the lead.
In any case if it absolutely has to be CVG then still the choice should be Atlas as it’s currently a base for all fleets: 73/74/76/77
Could get you an extra type or two taking the earliest upgrade.

Many people refuse to work for Atlas or Hawaiian as they still require the coVid vaccination to even apply.

This would make ABX or Amerijet the only two airlines with a large CVG presence. ABX is CVG based while Amerijet calls CVG a "temp base". (Amerijet gives hotel and per diem). Neither ABX or Amerijet require the jab. Kalitta Charters 737 operation also does not require the jab but their big uncle Connie's 747 and 777's do. All these airlines have a big CVG presence every night.

Be my guest. Choose whatever airline fancies you. Who cares about work rules, money and quality of life.

No it's actually a legitimate factor. The mind blowing part is people would put anything in their bodies just for a job.

So yeah keep having your mind blown.

BTW how did that jab work? Really got everything back to normal huh. Or was it that herd immunity misinformation?

My vaccination “card” is actually a fold down of 4-5 pages from all the unnecessary vaccinations I required during my international travels as a pilot

There is always Mesa. 100/hr and more if a typical airline schedule with lots of days home in base.

Don't think its Required at HAL now, not sure to be honest.
The upside is Amazon flying will be very junior, most employed currently do not seem interested, even commuters.

Apparently you didn’t have a problem with the military vaccination mandates (can you say experimental vaccines) nor with the Japanese style of conducting business or employment practices.
Yet you have an issue with vaccines approved by the FAA and praised by an ex president
and you’ll skewer a career based on that.

Haha... Business Insider. Just quote the Huffington Post or Rolling Stone next time.

Also strange how the least "vaxed" group was the African American population. Almost like they had been lied to before, oh I don't know, maybe 80 years ago or so.

When nearly every class action lawsuit starts with "FDA approved...." and ends with "if you had these side affects.." , ahh forget it, go get your 5th shot in 18 months.
