I have been having a hard time deciding which base makes more sense to bid for and would appreciate any input. I live in ATL and currently have CLT as a base given the several one leg flights to CLT per day and also the option of a 3.5 hour drive if it really came down to it. CLT seems like it takes a little over a year to hold round 1 so that is my only real concern about it.

Would it make more sense to keep CLT for convenience of relatively easier commute or bid something like CVG to have a shorter reserve but tougher commute? I think there are like 4 or 5 Delta mad dogs that go to CVG but am unsure how likely it is to ride on one.
