It's interesting to me that long-range commuting of airline pilots has been around forever. I remember in 1962 doing a magazine story on a captain of the then-fabled TWA Flight 1, I think it was, a TWA 707 that went around the world, Idlewild (then) to Idlewild via a series of major-city destinations. Not the same crew the whole time, of course, but I was surprised to learn, when I flew home with him, that the captain I was writing about lived in Bermuda. Just a short hop from JFK, though, compared to the Pacific Northwest...
