Yeah, when Adrienne is courted for a job by people from away, they pick up the tab.

If they're not going to pick up the tab, they expect the applicant to do it and aren't particularly looking for applicants outside their area.

I think the answer to your question is that, largely, unless they're paying, most people *don't* go to interviews in distant locations unless they're fairly certain they're getting the job or they've got a lot of money.
