I have the opposite problem of you, we thought about moving to CLT when I got hired, and moved home to Colorado instead. Now the kids are well established and we are tied in. I regret it every day.
You won’t commute from CLT for 20 years...that’s not mathematically possible, unless they close the base or shrink it rapidly. The problem is, it’s still being affected by the integration. LAA guys want it and new hires that were on the LAA side senior to you want it, and they seem to have shrunk the flying a bit. It won’t be forever though.
Quite a few gates under contruction right now. After those get finished I think there will be more flying. Also if you look at the CLT airports official website CLT is going to have a net gain of 32 gates over the next several years. There's going to be a ton more flying. But... I love Colorado.. if AA had a base there I would have been gone yesterday.
