That makes perfect sense to me, but I'm also wondering how common that is. Do most senior pilots who have settled into their major airline live where they are based? Any idea if there are a bunch of them commuting?

Just idle curiosity.
What happens if the airline he wants to retire from doesn't have a base that's close to your family?
