I don't mind to sacrifice a little pay to live somewhere that I like and is close to family. And did I mention I'm a Vols fan. Haha.
You should know that holding TYS might take you a while, it is definitely not the junior base any more. DAY and CVG are about equal on the junior side and CLT ant TYS are about equal, at least for FOs. If we are able to grow that would probably change almost overnight. I live in TYS and choose to commute over sitting reserve here... aviation is a gamble, where you place your chips could be a bust -- then again you may strike it big. Either way you may want to rent for a bit until you decide to place all of your chips.
Again welcome aboard and best of luck.
