whats too short to fly?
I live on the Illinois side of St. Louis, I'm 45 min drive to STL, Republic is on my short list of Airlines that I want to apply for. I'm about 4.5 hour drive from ORD and MCI and about 3.5 from KIND.
I'm not even sure if those are junior bases or not, just not sure whats worth flying and what might just be easier to drive in.

If you can bid reserve that only touches one rush hour, as opposed to both morning and evening, then it's practical to drive part of the way and go to a gym, movie, whatever until rush hour is over and then go home again.
As a line holder, I would drive three hours rather than commute by air. Maybe four hours if it's an easy drive (no traffic). Some of that depends on the nature of the commute by air.

Keep in mind from reading the RPA forum IND is an outstation so the trips begin early and end late. I see a lot leave around 5:30 to 8:30 am and many getting back around 10:00 to 12 midnight.

Why not Trans States or Gojet? They have STL domiciles.
