Can someone weigh in and give me a little insight? Advantages/disadvantages??
You might get HSV within a year, but who knows? HSV is mainly Africa or Afghanistan flying. Not the best destinations but you will occasionally get out to the rest of the system. If you live within reasonable driving distance to HSV then its a no brainer. At least 1 or 2 more "days" off when you don't have to gateway. I would guess 10 out of 12 months a year I actually start in HSV. And probably 8 out of 12 months I operate into or DH into HSV after my trip is over. Not EVERYTHING is into and out of HSV when based there, but a majority is. Sitting R2 at home (if within 130 miles of HSV) can be nice.
