ORF was an "original" Piedmont Airlines base, that is now US Airways/'Merican with probably close to 100+ active commuting employees.
-ADD all the ex Navy/AF/Army/Coast Guard/Marine pilots that were based somewhere close to the 7-cities that now commute to any number of bases that now employ them.
-ADD the 100+ ZW employees that commute to ORF (while a good number live in the area, a larger number still commute)
-ADD summertime vacation loads being close to 100% from March to August.
-ADD the majority of flights are on RJs with only 1 jumpseat.

EQUALS = Not a commuter friendly base.

But what do I know...I live there.
