CLT to ATL has 15-21 flights a day, so you're looking at about the same in my book. Commuting sucks for sure, but that looks like a pretty good situation to be in if one had to commute. 6 hour drive to DC vs 4 to ATL (although needing to drive through ATL could take 2 hour. If it takes 6+ months to get captain, and you get a year of PSC, they only have 8.5 years from there. If it got bad take WB FO and cut the number of commutes drastically.
The DC CLT flights are full of deadheading flight crews for AA and the regionals - BWI is 2+ hours away from IAD. The metro is 1 hour between DCA and IAD. It’s not miserable, but it’s not a walk in the park. CLT to ATL commute sucks too because it’s all RJ’s
Commuting for WB would be worth the pain though to IAD
