I second this. 2:45 minute drive verses flying. To fly you need a backup 2 hours after your primary flight to qualify for contractual commuter protections. If you have a noon report that probably means getting up at 5:30 AM to catch a 7 AM flight to DTW. If you drive you get in your car at 8:30 and head to DTW. No worries about weather, mechanicals, loads ect.. If you have a 9AM report you need to go up the night before if you fly. Leave at 6AM if you drive. Coming home depending on timing of flights you will get home sooner almost every time driving.
