When I had a phone interview earlier in the year the only base was Burbank. That was a deal breaker for me since I would have to commute, get a crash pad, etc. Quality of life, expenses, and the pay cut that I would take to do it was not worth it, versus what I am doing now. So at that point I really was not interested and could not justify something that would be worse.

With the OAK & CCR bases it's a different story and worth consideration. When are the start and end times out of those bases? Commuting in the Bay Area can be a hassle though I have some fast/fun vehicles!
