would think that day of ops commuting for short and medium haul ops is a much bigger concern
When an employer targets statutory limits for rest periods, providing minimum rest as the normal for pattern construction: Efficiency you know! Then decrees that rest commences after the park brake is set plus 15 minutes (all from the confines of a comfy 9-5 office), any sort of commuting makes it a really risky proposition...Fortunately the pilots carry the risk!
What is not to like, at least for the office creatures?
