Over 75% of Colgan's pilots do. However, I believe one of the quickest ways to improve your quality of life as a pilot is to live in your base...maybe not now, but at some point in your career you should try to make that happen. Commuting takes up a lot of time. You lose a lot of your free time and flights have gotten very full. Most airline pilots will tell you this...but they still end up commuting.

I currently live in my base. It makes a world of difference.
