The extra bidding power and $2 more per hour is not enough to get me into a -200 though. I'd have to see some pretty good QOL increases to consider it. The fences would also have to allow it.

I'm sure there are many people "considering"..... even I considered it for all of 10 seconds.... $12/hour (a net increase of $5-6 after taxes and a crash pad) is not nearly enough to entice me to commute to the frigid north..... I'll just bide my time and wait for a Q slot and live in base.
