There are a ton of commuters from PSA who live in MEM and commute to and from CLT but it’s generally not too bad.

Thanks. Figured having American flights doesn’t hurt.
Wasn’t sure how often Fedex flies to MEM each night.

You know there's a way to find out how many flights there are.

Pretty good movement of FedEx iron between the two. Live on lake Norman and enjoy!

I wish I could afford Lake Norman, gotta get hired first

Do a lot of trips start around midnight? Looks like that night flight gets in around 11pm.

As much as I’d love to live in base in CLT, I don’t want to wait another 5 years for the flow.

Most of the trips on the AM side start between 2 and 4 AM.

Getting in at 11pm would work out for most of the AM commutes.

There are quite a few Fedex pilots living in the Charlotte area, suburbs, and even out by the mountains who commute to MEM on FedEx metal. Jumpseat are pretty full especially at the beginning and end of the weeks.

How long till one can hold DHs at the start/end of trips?
I figure that’s the best case scenario one day. Being able to positive space myself to wherever the plane is since I live in a hub.

Looks like you live in MEM? I commuted to CLT from FLL for a while a few years ago. It was an easy commute. It was even easy on holidays for the most part. Hub cities aren't so bad. AA runs multiple flights a day to MEM. Not sure what Purple does but I know they are in and out for sure. Doubt you'll have any big issues.
