I do a one leg commute. Everyone says to avoid a commut, but I really can't complain one bit about it (and that's considering the Mouse lives here). Housing is way more affordable where I livein Florida, and I could never see myself making a big move for a Regional. In my case, I live an hour from a major airport (MCO). And while there aren't a ton of direct flights (4) to my base in IAD, I do have the option to fly to DCA and take the subway. YMMV
