At least there is a Hofbräuhaus in Newport.

 

That place used to be a blast and always packed!


Great restaurants and bars up in Mt. Adams, an array of condo's on the river downtown, huge homes with big yards on the Kentucky side or north of downtown. Rolling hills, Lexington and Louisville and hours drive away, with country in between, great for riding motorcycles. One of the best zoo's in America downtown (better than the SAN zoo IMO). Reds/Bengals games on the river downtown. King's Island amusement park used to be pretty fun until 2020 when the BLM'ers took it over for a time. It's also cheap to live so you don't have to all shop at the same Costco for your groceries. ( think it's called variety?) Oh, and a terminal with actual real food in it for those commutes/DH's.

Other than having no beaches, fewer Tacomas and midwest winters, CVG isn't a bad place. I've never seen a homeless camp or burnt out car there soooooo.......there is that.

 

A small rumor I heard was an 2011-2012 he/she/they hire would be considerably better than 50% on the 330F Cpt list in CVG about 2 weeks out from bid close.

 

They did answer in the interview recently I had, they said they aren't sure how it will work exactly yet mainly because that is being sorted with Amazon since the flying depends on Amazon. It sounds like you will live where you want near a major airport and they will positive space you to pick up your aircraft and then positive space you back when complete. CVG certainly one of the locations that will be flown from, probably the main one, but may be others depending on where you pick up the airplane. The A330Fs will not have a crew rest area so will be limited by time vice aircraft range so does not sound like anything further than HNL from the mainland, sounds like mainly domestic flying. Still a bunch of unknowns on the HAL side as they work the details with Amazon. My ear is to the ground.

 

There is more to this than just “rest facilities”. The FAA defines levels of rest and operation based on crews and facilities. An example, an augmented crew on a 767 at FedEx with just an extra JS can operate 12 hours. Even more if you add 1 more member.

 

They will only positive space you if the trip starts or ends with a DH from CVG. If the trip starts or ends with a flying leg to/from CVG, you will be required to get there on your own.

 

Does FedEX operate using 117 rules? Hawaiians frieght operation will be operated using our passenger ops rest rules. From what I heard the first couple of 330F aircraft won’t have a crew rest facility, but the rest most likely will.

 

How long is it taking to get a class date currently? I interviewed in December and am waiting to hear on a date.

 

I am throwing a flag on this one. There will be some sort of rest seat/bunk. Otherwise no go.

 

Atlas operates augmented 767 flights with no rest facilities (unless you count the yoga mat). I believe they were able to use a waiver for it.
