Lafe said:Looking for advice on what I'm missing:
I'm exiting the air force very soon, will be flying part time with Springfield, Ohio Guard, and trying to figure which major I'd fly for if the stars all aligned and I had my choice. My number one [combination] goal is to live in Southern Ohio and take care of my Mother and family WHILE NOT COMMUTING (QOL, don't want to be gone unless I'm earning money). I know....already hit a showstopper and we ain't got started yet. Right now, my choice would be UPS for a lot of reasons, but that's still 3+ hour drive to SDF. ABX is 1 hour drive from my Mother's mailbox, but I assume that they aren't hiring. Far as I can tell, noone domiciled at CVG or CMH is hiring, and I don't know of any majors at all that domicile at DAY. I'll appreciate all input anyone is willing to offer.
(By the way, why are there always FEDEX birds on the ramp at Rickenbacker, but noone domiciles there?)
Thanks!
Lafe,
If I'm reading correctly, you want to avoid a commute. I agree, and can understand your desire, but.....In my experience, most if not all of us will commute at some point in our career. In other words, you probably can't avoid a commute. The only way that I know to avoid commuting is to move to base. At that point, you can avoid a commute by: getting lucky and working for carrier that remains stable for the rest of you career(never shrinking,furloughing, etc), or passing by advancement opportunities that occur at other bases (wait for upgrade until it comes at your base, etc).
This is just general info, not specific to your location.
I hope it works out for you,
