I think one of the best arrangements at our company is the folks that fly the MD and live in Indy.
Probably because pilots like you are the exception, living in a specific city and having lines with double deadheads to that same specific city. There is a reason why the overwhelming majority of pilots live in Memphis compared to any other base and especially compared to non-base cities.
