hehehe. It seems I ruffled a few feathers with that comment!
All I said was that I've never heard anybody claim that before. True statement. Then again, a disproportionate number of guys I fly with live in CA. Now I guess I've heard otherwise.
FWIW, moving into base would have been a wash for me (other than the cost of moving) - so that's the "world in which I live." As much as I hate commuting, I'm not moving my fam away from western WA just so I can fly airplanes. For that reason, I'll be a commuter until I find my way out of this "career."
Now simmer down, Beavis.....
