I know way ahead of time there will be some dues paid and the schedule will suck, just trying to get a snapshot of what the time on and off will be like. Im about a 3hr drive from TYS and have family there or Im about 10 min from BNA so I could commute to CLT.
If you can drive to TYS, you definitely want to do that vs commute to CLT. By the time you add in the time spent waiting on the plane to leave and allowing for a backup flight if you miss the first one (for contract commuter clause protection), and then probably getting to CLT way before your report time, it's going to take you a LOT longer to get to work In CLT than it would to get to TYS.
This doesn't even factor in the stress of always wondering if you'll get on the flight you want to get to work or wondering if you're going to make that last flight out to get home.
