Waze suggests this is about 2 1/2hrs most times, can you sit SC at home or do people usually drive in somewhere closer?
AA commuters have more flights per day, can reserve the jumpseat (great when junior), don’t require a backup flight (which is huge and give you a lot of extra time home as a commuter) and don’t have a time limit for short call reserve show times…
I’d probably go AA
