Obviously go to SWA if you feel confident about the base and don’t commute, but if you have to: Commuting policy is great, no backup, no requirement for own metal, etc. Don’t be a clown and no one will bother you. 73 has one jump seat at AA except new maxes. The Airbus, of course, has two. You can reserve the JS 8 days prior for mainline only, no ability to reserve the JS on any of the regionals. You’ll get employee parking at BNA in lieu of your base if you choose. I’ve only flown with a couple BNA commuters but it seemed tolerable, as far as commutes go.
DFW has 8 mainline flights (+2 RJs) on a random weekday, mix of 737 and 320. Two flights have one JS listed.
CLT has 4 mainline (+6 RJs), also with a mix of both mainline types. One flights also has one JS listed.
