Of course bases. Mesa has all hub bases. Why would you come to PSA for a measly $2 more per hour? That doesn't even cover the cost of a crash pad, much less the additional stress of a 2 leg commute to DAY.
The fast upgrade doesn't really apply unless you have previous 121 time. It doesn't matter if the airline is upgrading in 6 months or 2 years unless you have your 1000hrs. Also I think we all know that, baring a big slow down, all the regionals will have less than a 2 year upgrade in the next 2 years.
And after upgrade you're right back to a 2 leg commute and a crash pad in DAY.
