Just curious -- I presently live in NJ but like most sane people I want to get out ASAP.

Say I come to PSA and get my local base (PHL) initially. I move to CLT once I can hold at least SCR as an FO there (less than a year it appears).

But then, say after 6-12 months in CLT I am force upgraded, which requires me to commute to reserve. All other things being equal, would it be easier to commute from CLT or another outlying base like PHL? I guess what I'm asking is whether I am more likely to get commuter-friendly flights out of CLT vs a smaller base like PHL and therefore whether it makes more sense to move to CLT sooner rather than later.
