Base choice
I have been having a hard time deciding which base makes more sense to bid for and would appreciate any input. I live in ATL and currently have CLT as a base given the several one leg flights to CLT per day and also the option of a 3.5 hour drive if it really came down to it. CLT seems like it takes a little over a year to hold round 1 so that is my only real concern about it.
Would it make more sense to keep CLT for convenience of relatively easier commute or bid something like CVG to have a shorter reserve but tougher commute? I think there are like 4 or 5 Delta mad dogs that go to CVG but am unsure how likely it is to ride on one.

Quick luggage question:
I bought the Travel Pro FlightCrew5 Pilot bag, and (as long as I don't pack heavy) it fits fine in the overheads of the 7/900, but the extra external pockets (which are nice) hang-up a little bit even when not utilized, and it doesn't fit at all in the 200 overheads... Had to send it below and keep an eye on it to get it back onboard every leg in the 200, which was not ideal, especially on quicker turns.
Any advice on which bags (LuggageWorks or otherwise) fit in ALL our planes?
I really like this TravelPro bag, but, like I said, I would like one that just works with no oversight involved.

Army/AF Guard or Reserve
Can somebody that is still flying for the Guard or Reserves please shoot me a PM or explain on here how the process works for your duty days. I know my drill weekends a year in advance but what about the AFTP's? Any issues with scheduling?
