Thank you
"Commuting" is generally considered to mean flying into your base, because that when things like the commuting clause of the contract (if your regional has one), missed flights, etc., comes into play.
This might be more than you're asking, but driving 2, 2.5 hours, or even more could technically be considered "living in base", but would run into problems with reserve callout times, etc.
