I’m sure this has been brought up before so I apologize in advance. Of course the industry changes literally every day!
How long can one expect reserve in Atlanta? How much flying out of Atlanta? Live in Houston but wat least thinking ATL will be an easier commute. IAH doesn’t seem like it has much going on right now.

Commute from Little Rock
I am looking hard at SkyWest because I think I’ll have the best shot at a fairly easy commute. LIT has at least a half dozen flights a day to IAH, DFW, ORD and ATL. NYC and DTW would require a 2 leg commute.
What do you guys think? Surely outside of holidays there are going to be plenty of open seats to make any of these easy going in and out of LIT. And from what I hear DFW, ORD and ATL are all fairly jr. Is this going to be pretty easy or a pipe dream??

I would avoid commuting to ATL. In my experience it's a commuter death trap. I would go for ORD or DFW. ORD is gigantic and always has movement.

A weather disruption can make your commute turn into an absolute showstopper. Have a plan A, B, and C, and be prepared to man up and call off the beginning of a trip if you have to, but do it far enough in advance that they can get a reserve and keep you out of trouble. Don't make it a habit.

Yes but the nice thing about ORD is if United is full, you can try AA. Or vice versa. Or if you're lucky you get an option on Spirit depending on where you live.
