I also consider it important for a base to be in driving distance. That's one reason PSA appeals to me because I can get from my home to either Knoxville or Charlotte in 5 hours. So even on long call reserve, I could just throw my stuff in the vehicle and be on my way. It's ironic being that I'm a pilot, but nowadays I just hate to fly commercial airlines. I realize as a flight crewmember the pain will be eased somewhat but within the USA, if I can, I usually drive. Too bad there's not a suitable option for me at ATL because I can be there in an hour.
