I should clarify that I am about 2.5 hours from CLT and not actually in base. In other words I can make a line work without being a commuter however 2hr callout reserve would be a problem, if I had to do that for 2 years I would have to move or park a camper halfway there or some crap.
One other consideration is flow. I know everyone says "dont count on it" however PDT now flows 9/month starting november and has 750 pilots. If you estimate 35% leave before they flow that's only about 4.5 years to flow which seems achievable.
