I don't blame him for walking away but there is no semblance of an airline position in his job description. It's GA like. Actually, its first job GA like.

Awaking at 3am for a commute and flying beyond midnight on a multi-sector day is a safety issue, requiring intervention and deterrence. Whatever your views are on commuting, its often thrown back in the face of pilot organizsations pressing fatigue issues and rostering. This pilot's commuting seems extreme. Far more sensible commuting scenarios are used as evidence, by management, of pilot roster stamina. Commuting is a proven double edged sword.
