The way I understood the conversation btw Meme & Fangs - they meant there is a pay/QOL balance somewhere in the middle between NBA and WBB, especially for commuters.
Meme compared NBB to NBA. Where it's an obvious trade of QOL for more money. Local NBBs have less QOL to lose and just want the pay boost with upgrade to NBA. If you are commuting, now it's a tougher call.

Fangs mentioned that the Pay vs QOL tradeoff is not as lopsided when you compared NBA to WBB, especially for commuters, because he was referring to Scoop, who suggested bidding/flying WBB trips with DH on both ends.

Example:

Do you want to commute from RJserviceTown, USA, to NYC NBA, to cover 3 airports? To make NBA $$$?

Or do you want to commute to NYC330B, with PM starts and AM finishes, or - even better - DDH both front-end & back-end? Basically only worrying about JFK, and with some schedule control to employ Gunfighter's WBB playbook in post #4036.

Anyway that's how I read it, flame away
