Let me pass on some advice that the gate agents at CRW passed to me 20+ years ago when I first moved to West Virginia...
Refer to CRW as "Charlie West" and CHS as "Charlie South". That way you will never get the agents confused as to where you are headed. Now whether that will work today, who knows, as we know the gate agents are paid little more than minimum wage (especially the regional based ones) and aren't trained in the same manner that the mainline agents were 20 years ago.
