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.
Personally I'd go for ease of commute. CVG might have a lot of Delta guys commuting so it could be tough. You'll hold long call and buildup lines relatively quick in CLT, so its not like its going to be a solid year of nothing but short call reserve.
