Not sure which base would be easiest for me to commute from.
BNA-ORD can be tough. Lots of commuters. A mix of mainline and Envoy with the occasional Skywest mixed in.
LGA has a few commuters but plenty of options between AA, DL, and WN.
DFW is DFW. Lots of commuters and only AA on the route so you’d go behind the mainline guys for the jumpseat.
MIA has a few flights per day which are operated by Republic so you’d fall behind their commuters first, and then it would be first come for the junpseat.
