Hello, I have received an offer from Southwest Airlines as a Associate Technology Analyst with their direct college hire program. Will be graduating in May with a degree in MIS and also have internships experience as a Business Systems analyst intern. The salary compensation started off at 66,500 but was looking for the 75k range and they got back to me saying the best they can do is 68,500. They also have a 401k company match up to 9.3%. Do you think this is a solid offer for this job market?

Yes.
It’s not paranoia, it’s legitimate. We are not letting vaccinated parents who are local hold baby / visit indoors bc they work outside the home and are not quarantined whatsoever. They can still transmit the virus to us and our newborn. It’s our job to protect him.
Don’t feel bad about it.

No. You won’t be able to take care of baby if they infect you. I’d wait for more firm info on transmissibility by vaccinated people - or vaccinations of yourselves. Stay strong! Meeting the baby will be amazing no matter when.
Only if they can quarantine when they arrive for the appropriate time and get tested

Same
Pro
My local brother is vaccinated but works in a hospital. He is allowed in our apartment and can hold my newborn daughter, but only masked after changing his shirt (since he was on the subway and my daughter would be laying against the shirt)
Absolutely not on parents coming in unless they quarantine and get tested after
It’s not paranoia to keep your newborn as safe as possible
Pro
Yes, planning to do this with my parents who will very likely still be unvaccinated. They will quarantine before hand, travel with double mask, land, stay at an airbnb and get tested after 5 days. If negative then they can come stay with us and newborn.
I did this for when I had my baby at the end of 2020. My parents took COVID precautions seriously, and I was comfortable with the risk.

Emily Oster had a post on basically exactly this question in her newsletter today (although it excludes the flying element) and I wanted to share:

Yes, if they follow strict precautions that you agree to. This is what I did with my parents and my baby was born in October. It’s a very personal decision though
This was released today 🤷

It’s a bold move without evidence in human... but plenty of evidence in animal models of zero to extremely low likelihood of transmission (that is assuming the person/animal caught the old strain, or Uk strain... vaccines except Novavax’s will pretty much be obsolete against the South Africa strain)
Yes. If they can travel, we’ll allow them to come.
We are going to let our vaccinated parents fly to visit us, but not in the first month. Transmission risk from vaccinated people is still unknown (unsubstantiated CDC press release notwithstanding) and we aren’t messing around when the baby is most vulnerable and I’m initially recovering.
Yes
