ATL to CAE commute for a new hire FO?
Does anyone have experience with an ATL to CAE commute if I were to join AirWis? Delta has 7 to 9 daily trips each way. I live on the north side of Atlanta. So a 190 mile drive is also an option.

^^^ Endeavor or Skywest first. If those dont work out, commuting ATL-CAE wouldnt be the worst commute in the world. However, CAE is a maintenance base and you may have flights start before and end after your commuting flights.

...and you are saying to go to 9E or OO to avoid the -200.
Regardless don’t chose an airline based on equipment.

The Air Wisconsin 200’s are some of the oldest out there. Heck, they even have an early CRJ-100 frame.
Endeavor has better pay and should be around for the foreseeable future. Not to mention a better training department.
As others said, CAE is a MX base sport early shows and late finishes.
Pot meet kettle? I’m going off personal experience. The 200 / 145 carriers with only 50 seaters will be hard to staff in the future. That means upheaval.

When I was air Air Wisconsin, I commuted from Roswell. It was about at 2:10 drive straight I-20 to I-26. There are still a handful of guys and gals who live in the Atlanta area and drive to Columbia. It’s not a bad drive. It’s putting mileage and wear and tear on a car, but it beats commuting via airplane. If I’m not mistaken, we have one or two who drive in from Savannah and Jax
