When you have a maintenance base, you know your airline will have in-house maintenance support at that station.
In a grand scheme of things, sure it doesn’t make a big difference. Also, if you are a commuter. You can except a lot of your metal to be pushed through maintenance bases.
That’s what I meant between

Once you hit 1000 hour upgrades, what follows are unfilled upgrade vacancies. That is a terrible place to be as an airline. It means that you are losing captains faster than you can upgrade them.

You mean they’re running out of warm bodies to upgrade to the left seat? Republic could be in a very difficult staffing position soon…
