There are several commuters that live near there. Not to mention those who live within an hour or two’s drive. If Whiskey managed to staff their ORF crew base then I see no real reason we wouldn’t be able to.

I’m not a fan of outstation bases for a different reason than, “I’m not happy about 2-leg commuting to base”. I think opening an outstation right now is short-sighted. Sure we have pilots now. We aren’t worried about attracting pilots with commutable hub bases... But what about a year from now? 2 years from now? Just seems short-sighted to me is all.
