Hard to say. TYS is fairly top-heavy which means lots of flows coming up. FOs are starting to upgrade again so there is more movement than there was over the holidays. From DOH, 8-9 months will probably see someone starting today on a R2 line. I'd put R1 in the 10-12 month range, to be conservative. I expect the times to stay similar to CLT.
I made the BNA-TYS drive 2-3 times per month for about a year. It gets tiring, not because the drive itself, but because the extra planning like others said. If you need to be there for 5am call (checked in at airport by 6am), do you really leave at 1am or do you just go down the night before? But it's really the same either way, if you have to be to CLT for hot at 5am you're not commuting in that morning from anywhere (especially not central time) either, unless our reserve rules get a serious update.
In either situation, if you have 11am call you should be able to get there in the morning. Getting home on the last day becomes the issue. The latest CLT-BNA flight is at 10:40pm and while you can try to finagle Scheduling into releasing you early, it's a coin toss, at best. You could, however, get away with leaving from TYS, by car, as early as 11:45pm, getting back to Nashville at around 2am local time.
It's all so complicated...just live in base
