Is CVG a viable base for a new hire? It would be the only base of interest to me at the moment as I'm bound to Columbus for a few years.

CVG is primarily metros. If you have a lot of turbine time it would be possible to go straight to CVG (very short staffed). If you're planning on commuting from Columbus that might be nearly impossible with the CVG schedule. Republic has a Columbus base... QOL would probably be better there

No pay during the first week of indoc, but they pay for your hotel room (double occupancy). Then paid minimum wage (?) until you pass your check-ride. All other upgrades transitions are paid at your normal rate.

Agreed that QOL would be far better with a base closer to Columbus. The fact that requirements include turbine time for the CVG base makes Ameriflight not that attractive to me, as I'm looking for that part 135 job with no prior 121 or 135 experience.

At the risk of being shot at, I'd say PSA probably has a better QoL than AMF does, concessionary contract included.

What regional wouldn't have a better QOL than AMF? Not bashing, and pay aside for the first year.

Simply put, none.

We just had a new guy go out there to fly a metro with little turbine time coming in. Plenty of time in the TT category, but mostly(more than 95%) piston twin and single time.

Anything is possible! Doesn't hurt to apply and communicate your needs.

Lol! weekends off, home every night and major holidays off wasn't a bad quality of life. Pay for first year chieftain captain aside though...metro was just fine!

Depends on the base. It goes back to the whole 2 different airlines concept.
