If you want control over when you fly, the trips you fly and layovers you get; having the ability to drop trips in your base and then pickup everywhere is a huge QOL enhancer.
If you’re a weekend lineholder in another base your ability to drop is majorly diminished. You may not be able to and you’ll get stuck commuting. Or what if you can drop but there is no open time in your home base? Commuting again. Or worst case what happens when the music stops? Would you rather be in the base you live in or stuck commuting to some other base potentially for years.
RSV in you home base is always better than being a commuting line holder.
LIMITED control over trip types and layovers of all things is the dumbest reason to be a commuter I’ve ever heard
