Actually, I feel the opposite. I think a new base(s) would be beneficial for recruitment and possibly greatly benefit many current and new commuters. Also, it might open up advancement opportunities for many that might otherwise would have found themselves stagnating in MSP.
Granted each have their own personal situations but for the company as a whole, I think many would benefit.

Yes, retention might take a hit but frankly retention will consistently be a problem at SCA with or without new bases.

Additionally, another base might widen recruiting possibilities for candidates that may have found the MSP commute untenable.
