There are small niche markets that make great little bases. There are 40-50 people in each seat that would like to live there, are very happy, and have a great quality of life. TYS is like that. ORF would be as well. That is a great town. Virginia Beach and Newport News close by, and you could easily drive in from Richmond or Elizabeth City, NC.
I could easily see people coming to PSA, moving to a place like Virginia Beach, being very happy with a 25 minute drive to work, and enjoying living on the coast.
But PHL will be the good, commutable base that people are looking for.
Does anyone know when this base announcement is supposed to happen?
