I agree. It’s kinda like Warren Buffet’s advice on stock buying. If you want to be hired ahead of everyone you don’t go to the airline that just hired 10,000 of your best friends.
Life sucks here right now. However, once we have a contract attitudes are likely to swing wildly the other direction. Caveat Emptor

I am local to Louisville and was hoping the UPS interview tap would get turned on in the near term but prospects dropped after the accident and are not looking good to go up in the near term. I have a job offer with UAL so guess it’s the bird in the hand for me.

If the only airlines that are hiring are the ones that just hired 10,000 then you go where the money is. At least that’s what in my cards.

If it helps you might’ve dodged a bullet. Our leadership can’t even get the 2976 crew names right, unless Rich went by Rex.

Personally I would take sdf based UPS over commuting to UAL from sdf. I’m not quite as negative as some on this forum and I like turns that let me see my family everyday.
That being said, definitely take the UAL spot and if UPS starts hiring soon you can make a decision. Or just move to a UAL base.

I’m tied to living near SDF for the next 5 years so that my kids can graduate. I love the area but if moving makes my life simpler I’m not opposed to it then.
A commute to Chicago isn’t ideal but doesn’t sound too bad. I’m just trying to maximize quality of life. It’s time to give back to the family for this second carer. I’ll fly whatever/wherever can do that.
