Once you’re a lineholder you can swap/pick up trips from any base, making BNA a strategically positioned airport.

That was hurtful :-(. Kidding, I know LBB is FAR from ideal. But it’s so green here, we have so many trees, it’s 72 degrees all the time............wait.......we don’t have any of that either. FML. I just have to go into it expecting year 1 to suck. Hopefully I’d be at the end of the tunnel by then and have something tolerable. Of course, I don’t have the job yet so my cart and horse are poorly arranged.
