Dan & Paris,
What about those of us who chose to live many miles from base and commute, arriving before flights, in many cases long-haul? This has always been something that has been ignored, both by the airlines and the regulatory authorities but I think it's just a matter of time before an accident happens that reveals that the pilot left home (perhaps in another country) several hours before his report time, with none of the travel time being taken into account before his 14 hour duty day.
