i doubt locality to a major airport is high on the priority list for the majority of the “move somewhere less expensive” crowd.

IDK. I guess it depends on if those people are taking their careers with them and are required to travel at least 50% of the time for business.

I'm moving to south Louisiana from Chicago, and the proximity to MSY (and BTR as a nearby backup) were major factors in my decision to move to south Louisiana. My job would be nearly impossible in a more isolated mid sized MSA with slower air service - like Monroe, Augusta, Corpus Christi, Alexandria (La), Huntsville, El Paso, or Shreveport.
