I am a resident of Georgia. I am employeed by an airlines in Orlando FL. I commute each week to work. Can I deduct hotel, meals and mileage expenses on my taxes and if so how much?

You cannot deduct hotels, meals, or mileage. These are considered personal expenses. Your tax home is in Orlando. The fact that you live in Georgia is a personal decision. You could move to Orlando and then you would no longer have these duplicate expenses.

I agree with IntlTax's interpretation.

However, if you maintain a home in Georgia, it is likely that Georgia will ALSO tax your income. The fact that you earned it in Florida is irrelevent.
