I understand that HPN is a service hub and busy port of call for NJ aircraft and owners, does that make it a more appealing base? By more appealing I suppose I mean fewer Uber / rental car trips. I imagine being HPN based involves a lot of Ubering to NYC airports or TEB, vs BDL which I imagine is consistently going to be an airline flight to begin and end a tour.
Alternatively is it an exercise in futility to try to game anything and just take the base with the shortest personal commute? Thank you!
if you can’t find the any insight on this, I encourage you to try both. One of the perks of the job is being able to switch bases every 7 days. I’d probably start with the shorter drive.
