Options are nice. Most airline gigs give you options...
I did SAT JFK for a year. Not a busy commute but not many options. When I was there, it was only 1 direct flight per day that was mainline 9 months of the year. AUS JFK had a few more options but more competition, my backup was usually SAT ATL JFK/LGA which was pretty miserable.
