From the looks of the graph above I’ve got a good chance but the whole forced upgrade & re-basing sounds bad. Also have offer from Endeavor but don’t like their bases and wouldn’t move to any of them, therefore would have to commute.
Things can change rapidly in the regional segment, but it's likely ORF won't ever be as desirable as a domicile that can be a single-leg commute, as a result, it's less likely you have to worry about being forced out.
If PSA chooses to close it as a maintenance base in 5 years or so, then that domicile will likely close as well.
Best wishes with your decision.
