Another option: Book into PIT, and stay in a hotel near downtown. Then catch the morning Amtrak train from Pittsburgh to Johnstown. Leaves PIT 0730, arrives JST 0904. One-way advance purchase is $16.
[FWIW, I think Johnstown and central Pennsylvania is a perfectly nice place to live and work. To each his own.]

PIT is a lot closer than IAD. Why not fly to PIT, overnight, and drive Monday morning? Take the 30 highway minutes to get on the other side of town Sunday night and you're looking at just over an hour. You'll be on more back-road traffic from IAD.

I assumed the OP was flying IAD to JST on one of the flights to JST. Last I knew, about the only commercial flights into JST were out of IAD, and the only direct flight from JST was to IAD.

Obviously, but the OP's current plan assumes the flight is on-time, too.
Amtrak train #42 had a 96.4% on-time performance in the month of February. Do you think the morning United flight from IAD to JST did that well during the month of February?
