But if the stability and commutability of centralized basing is important to you, it may be a reason to switch. As employees flow in and out of the system (including maintenance) like a revolving door and safety becomes a concern, it may be a reason to switch. As airline hiring ramps up and flow throughs become common again, it may be a reason to switch. If jet turbine time is important to you, it may be a reason to switch. If you are looking to make a move to a different coast in the future (or back to a coast), it may be a reason to switch. If you are an FO with only months on the job without any real seniority anyway, it may be a reason to switch.
