As long as multiple players are hiring, you will always see a bit of this. Not necessarily that the grass is greener, but different people like different kinds of grass. No rhyme or reason sometimes why you get a call from the OTHER carrier first instead of where you want to work. Some people want to live in XYZ instead of ATL/PHX/DEN/PHX or place your preferred domicile over where the other place that called you first flies from.
