Most far-flung regional commuters?

Why hasn't anyone pointed out, WTF!!!
If you are going to commute for 60+ hours a month on top of 300 TAFB, you had better be making at minimum 6 figures.
WTF!!!!

I feel your pain though. I used to do MCO-CMH for my commute. Wasn't too fun.

PWM to PLB is harder, I assure you.

How about PDX-SEA. Short commute, but after you watch 4 flights go without you, you wish you were commuting to BKK.

I don't work for a regional anymore, but we have a capt. that commutes Kenya-JFK.
He owns a bigass ranch there I guess.

How do you like flying with a guy who just had an 18-hour commute?

"Hey, George, glad to see you! Looks like we have 5 legs today, all of them will be IFR to minimums and we're flyin' through the remnants of a hurricane all day long. Even we might want sick sacks in the cockpit, today!"

I'm a commuter too, but if the commute affects the safety of the flight because you're too tired to do your duties starting your pairing, I see that as a problem.
