And, of course, I can always drive. But, I'm wondering whether I should keep CVG because of the comparatively shorter reserve time. What do those in-the-know think about an ATL to CVG commute? DL has about 7 non-stop flights each day. AA is a two-leg trip for me.
I would stay in CVG until you can hold Rd 1 in CLT then reassess. IMO it would be pointless to move from an easy commute and SAP to a slightly easier commute for reserve. I suspect you will find that you like CVG and the seniority that it provides by the time the Rd1 timeframe for CLT arrives. Have fun...
