So now on a 4/4 schedule you’re eating up two half days or more commuting... more base centralization has been discussed but hasn’t happened yet...
Are there easy flights direct from RDU to STL? That would seem the easiest possibility. NYC isn’t as doable as our main NYC base is White Plains, and there probably won’t be FOs at JFK and it’s seasonal.

Thanks BravoTango! There are two Southwest flights each day except Sunday (only 1) direct from RDU to St. Louis. And if need be, CLT is close by RDU, and well served by AA. St. Louis does sound like it would be the better option. Would still probably spend half a day before and half a day after the 4 day rotation commuting, but thats better than my current situation. I'll look back through the comments and see how easy St. Louis is to acquire for new FO's. Thanks again!
