Am I in favor of hub basing? Yes because I commute and it would make life much easier. That being said, being based in both the ATL and IAD networks has allowed me to explore parts of the country I would otherwise never go to. Yes, Greenville is a dump but its got killer blues bars and BBQ. The Appalachian region is very quaint and the scenery is great. Outstation basing isn't all terrible- you just have to make the best of it
