The idea of living in base “because it’s the right thing to do” is very outdated. I know several people who live in one city and fly to another for work. Engineers, doctors, military work from home (with TDYs). It’s a real thing in 2025. Biggest reasons are family and locality desirability. Expecting everyone to live “where they’re told” (PTC) is so two generations ago and doesn’t align with the behavior of younger generations. Just posting my observations.

Dont some fourth floor types commute from outside ATL? If they do, I wonder what that benefit looks like. Not saying line employers should be entitled to that, but genuinely curious.
