With PSA having a Charlotte base, that's a little attractive as I can drive there in less than 5 hours. That obviously wouldn't work for short call reserve but by the time I drive to ATL (1 hour), get through security and get to a gate, board the flight (hopefully), flight time to CLT, get to where I need to go... The 5 hour drive doesn't look that horrible.
