I live in base. I'm young and single so why commute? Commuting is a pain, especially with high load factors and weight limited a/c. Flying in MDT is almost all northern flying, but we fly into every base nonstop from here but LGA. However you will do a lot of LGA flying either by deadheading or going through PHL. There are a lot more out and backs for Nov but its still mostly 3 or 4 day trips.

As far as Colgan. if there were only 15 no votes, how did ALPA get voted down? I'm just going be what I see and hear from other Colgan pilots.
