Someone who described himself as living in base said "LGA is too far from Pennslyvania"
So yes, eastern PA is legal for SCR but if you avoid picking up trips because LGA is too far ...
And so "the lesson" is that there are places to live "in base" that limit ones options. (And yes, living close to LGA certainly limits ones options as well)
