AWAC has been a great place to work, but be aware you will do a tour in MKE at some point.
PM me if you want more info.

So just to throw it out there... My commute has two directs a day for a 2:30 hour. The ONLY reason I do it is because its on my metal and wide open.
If it was another carriers equipment, with heavier loads I would not be ok with it.

(VPS primary and PNS as a backup.) I would have assumed ATL would be my goal for quickest commute and a drive option if absolutely required - but I’m not sure?
It’s been mentioned that there are usually open seats on the ATL-VPS trip, and multiple options per day. But I haven’t seen any info with the fidelity you mentioned above out of TPA.

That should be fine, worst case that's a lot of jumpseats.
Three daily flights would probably be about the minimum I'd consider, and one could expect trouble during peak seasons.
