If you want to represent a base you should be flying there. Period. Who cares where you live - we have tons of commuters.

It appears to be fairly common. As Yoda would say "The pull of FPL is strong and has a dark side."

Like some other posters have said, this was news to me that this was even an option. So you could have a SEA based guy as a NYC rep? I can only imagine that conversation:
“Hey rep, the pairings suck this month WTF?”
”Do they? They seem fine over here quite whining”
