I'd rather commute to higher paying, high quality trips then do the exact same 2-3 legs in and out of my home city for the rest of my career.
I’m just saying that because of juniority there is a finite amount of pilots who can take advantage of that. Also, pilots value different things. Some hate deadheading.

A couple of things, I qualified my comment so a reread is probably necessary. Second, even if the 75% number is true (there are over 1500 pilots who live within 200 miles of Memphis), that remaining 25% still outnumbers pilots from all other bases combined.
