Two issues here:

1. Pressure to fly. You should NEVER be pressured to fly. If you are, go to a different company. In my decade plus of flying EMS there are numerous fatal accidents due to pressure to fly.

2. Never move to base unless you want to continue living there after they shut your base down. I've been through two base closures and finally became a relief pilot. Lived where I wanted to and got paid to commute. Sure, lost some time off for travel days but got paid 1 1/2 time salary to have a cocktail during my commute. 

3. Classic example: San Antonio Airlife.  2015 there was 6 bases. 9 years later they are all closed except Uvalde.
