I can only speak for myself...my motivation is commute-less employment. I'm coming up on 1400TT and the only reason The ONLY considering RAH is the possibility of an SDF CHQ E145 slot. I'm committed here with family ties, and I absolutely understand you have to be ready to be mobile, and things happen, bases close, nothing's guaranteed, managment sh*ts on people by pulling out the rug from underneath you at their whim. But the the regional game, from what I've gathered the last few years and recent months as I get closer, is a smelly one no matter where you are; however, one of the few things that helps cover the stench is driving, not flying, to work.
If the time comes around where there happens to be an interview and I'm given the impression that there won't be hiring on that certificate, or that base won't be available more than likely...OR I'm told to expect that certificate but given the run-around when I show up, I'm outta there. Not worth the trouble.
