I've been commuting out of Knoxville the last two years. Started off going to LGA. At the time the only direct flights were on Endeavor and they only had 2 a day and none on Saturday. Then I started the commute to PHX. Did that for two months. Absolutely brutal commute. Going to PHX was not so bad. Coming back sucked big time. I had late reserve and would have to catch the red eye through Chicago mostly. Now I commute to Dallas. Problem with Knoxville is everything American has is all regionals. Right now Mesa does a bulk of the flights. And depending on the time of year, they greatly reduce the flights to Dallas and Chicago. And summer time. Well that's a whole new level of hell for commuting. Ultimately my plan is to move in base. If the wife has her way I'll be commuting from somewhere that is even worse than my current commute. I miss my 12 minute drive to work.
