I am trying to plan a little for the future and was wondering how most regional, cargo and major airlines handle commuting. I have heard some pilots say you can commute to work while others say you are better off living on base.
-Do most airlines allow commuting or do they want you to live on base?
-Can you change bases after you are hired?
-If i live in Dayton, Oh and I am based in Ny, Ny or a similar location according to distance how hard would it be to commute?

Thanks
