A 200 mile drive is easy. A 30 minute commute on an RJ is a nightmare.
You generally have to plan on
two flights from your home to your base to meet the "commuter clause" that gets you off the hook for missing work. Depending on your show time for your trip, and the flight schedule, that could mean you have to commute in the prior
morning. Why sit in a crashpad for 16 hours when you could spend the day and night at home with your family, and just drive three hours to work?
If you lived over 500 miles from work, then you would fly. Less than 300, you drive.
