If you take the Q you will be PIT based for years and you'll be commuting to reserve.
I would agree with this. I sat reserve for two weeks in PIT and it was horrible. 3am-3pm. 11 days off. There are no crash pads so you will shell out 50 bucks a night for a hotel unless you move there. If you are lucky you can split with another pilot.
There are plenty of crash pads near LGA that are within walking distance. The one I had at Mesaba was a 5 minute walk and was 200 a month.
