Yes, I see that. Also, if I were to ever have an interest in becoming an instructor, check airmen, (god forbid!) management pilot, recruiter, etc., living by HQ makes that a very realistic option.

I want to get back to 121 after a long absence and another career having nothing to do with flying. I have no problem with the concept of staying long-term and retiring from a regional. As one gets older, suitcases and hotel rooms get less and less attractive. Having the HQ option opens a lot of possibilities, for sure.

The job offer needs to come first, then I can make a choice.
