There are some more senior guys who have seen 7-10 of their bases close. It's really best to just try to get in and get out of the regionals if your life circumstances warrant that. Very few bases are "safe" to plant roots in.



Yes. The more senior you become, the better schedules you will be able to bid for, which makes commuting easier. Passrider.com is a good site to see what your flight options are from where you live to a potential base.
