CHA is 1:35-1:50 (best case going 10 mph over the spd limit) from the employee lot. I used to live there. You can sit short call from home. There is also some regular flight service from CHA to ATL if you don't want drive...You wont save any time, just less of a headache. Pay attention to school zones for where you are looking at houses.

It would be a very rare occurrence however that you got one of the "how fast can you get here" short calls exactly during morning rush hour. You usually have plenty of time.
I don't think it would be a problem to sit short call in CHA.

I know this is an "old" thread, but of interest to me. I'm new to the forums and a DAL poolie. Hoping to get to ATL as soon as possible, but my wife would rather live in TN than GA. We're seriously considering Chattanooga (live near IAD now). Wife's sister lives 35 minutes NW of ATL, for my crash pad. Seems like living in CHA wouldn't be too heinous under the circumstances. Any other opinions on this? Thanks.

Thanks scambo! That's good news. My daily commute now is 1-1.5 hrs from NoVA to ADW, through DC beltway traffic, so the drive sounds like no threat to me at lower frequency. Will there be trouble during heavy commute times coming from that direction?

Anyone have trouble commuting DC-ATL as a new guy? Still no training date yet, but I hope to bid ATL out of the gate. I'll be commuting from DC for probably my first year (until my wife decides to move anyway). Between IAD and DCA there appear to be numerous options to/from ATL every day. Am I fooling myself?

But sometimes guys there turn northward and take the shuttle and fly out of NYC where seniority goes further.

Tons of flights and not many DAL JSers in my experience doing the route but that's just my experience from flying the route on the 88, not trying to commute on it.

I'm in a similar boat commuting out of DC. Was planning on NYC, but read somewhere on the forums the DTW might have better flight/seniority options and isn't too bad of a commute either. Any opinions on DTW vs NYC for a new guy commuting...and hoping to keep that commute to a minimum by getting senior in whatever domicile or airplane is best to do that as quickly as possible?
