With pretty much everyone going to MIA for training, the hotels and per diem are paid throughout for aircraft training. If you’re CVG based, then while in HNL your hotel would be covered.

The Amazon flying might not be forever as those contracts are renewable, so just because it’s happening now it doesn’t mean it’ll be renewed when the contract expires 10 years from now. The airplanes are owned by Amazon so they can plug and play with any carrier as they wish. I just don’t want you to be stuck commuting to HNL for however many years if your intent is to be on that side of the US for the foreseeable future. If you’re ok with taking that risk, then obviously go for it. Best of luck!

Is there much interest among the existing Hawaiian pilots to change bases to CVG? I'm curious about the upgrade time for a new-hire specifically interested in the CVG operations. I understand that Amazon's shrewd nature is a threat to the long-term viability of that domicile, but after a few years making a solid income on that contract, moving to Hawaii isn't necessarily the most hateful outcome for some pilots. So with that said, how junior is the left seat out of CVG expected to go, or is it still a tossup this early in the game?

With a line, sure you could swing 16-18 off without a ton of difficulty.
