And, yes, I concede that getting closer to your family is a legitimate reason to move... I hadn't thought about that as I'm not married. But, what is that pilot going to do with his/her family when hired by a major with no base close to home?
Some of us aren't interested in majors that are not close to home. For some people work and personal QOL trumps all other considerations. Everyone has to make their own choices based on their own criteria.
