I didn’t advise anything. I simply suggested to keep that in mind. In some cases it might be preferred and I’ve certainly seen quite a few pilots changes bases to get a line faster with the intention of dropping in base to pick up close to home. I don’t know the reserve times in all bases but if the time is significantly different and gaining control over your schedule is high priority that’s one way to do it.
