Thanks
Just to tag on your TYS out of training thing - I was awarded TYS out of training last year. TYS was actually my last choice - CLT was my first as I live here in CLT...
I actually really enjoyed TYS. Reserve was easy out there since there isn't hot reserve and you can play the system based on knowing that 9 out of 10 times, you will just be Deadheading to CLT..Just know when those flights are and play the game..
However, since I lived in CLT, I request to sit in CLT throughout my entire reserve blocks each week. It worked perfectly. I literally only had to commute to TYS for 4 different 5-day reserve stents. It was great. They need you more in CLT than they do in TYS. I didn't notice where you said you lived, but if it's CLT, I bet you can play the system a bit. Just my 2 cents..
