I think the question also lies in how much time you spend in the state you are domiciled. We were just talking about this the other day at work. In massachussetts they will tax you whether you are a resident or not if you work in the state, even if your permanent address is somewhere else. The one stipulation lies in that if more than 50% of your work is done out of state then you are exempt. Well being that we are really only in mass. for T/O and ldg. and all flights go out of state it's easy to justify that we spend more than half our time working out of state, so therefore avoid having to pay taxes.

This is how the situation was explained to me, not sure that i'm spot on in my understanding. I guess what it comes down to is every state is a little different and talking to an accountant or someone that knows is the only real way to get solid answers to questions like this.
