LC is also much, much more likely to need to commute by air, and possibly have that go wrong. SC should not have that kind of commute.
they maybe true for a base like NYC or a base filled with new hires like LAX, but I can tell you most SC in CLT live in base and are just trying to stay at home like anyone else...I bid SC sometimes living in base bc it pays more AND I don't want to fly...no reserve wants to end the month with 70+ hours of rsv flying, not ever, SC or LC...the commute thing is probably true, but why should that be a factor when it's a personal choice? I am not trying to dog people who commute, everyone has their reasons, it just shouldn't be a living in base SC rsv pilots responsibility to "pick up the slack" so to speak...
