It’s not bad at all IMO. I commuted through CLT to PHL occasionally, it was fine. LGA would probably be fine too. Personally, if I were planning to eventually move to CLT, I’d just do it at the get go, especially if you have kids. Or stay put and commute from your current location until you can hold CLT. This also allows you to get your income up before purchasing in CLT. Where do you live now? Middle or High School aged kids?
I personally wouldn’t move to another base knowing you’ll move again in a year or 2. Seems like a waste of money and energy. Not fun for the kids either.
