Hi folks,

What is the norm for pilots and distances from their base? Do you have to be within one hour travelling distance from your base?

I would imagine it varies between different airlines/ bases and what type of operation you're on ie; short haul or long haul, but I would be very greatful if someone could take the time to outline some of the examples.

Thanks alot for your time,

VFE.

We are supposed to live within 90 minutes of base, which I think is some sort of CAA recommendation.
