These day's there is no time for a run nor swim, no time for sleep, just confinement inside that tiny cockpit. The job is no longer a healthy occupation. (Years ago a pilot had free time to run & swim even while on an airline trip.)
Negative.
The problem is...commuting.
ALL pilots should absolutely be required to live at the location of their assigned primary duty station...period.
No excuses.

Then, plenty of time for off-duty rest.
Sadly, pilots are their own worst enemy, in this regard.

Airline managements need to crack down on this commuting nonsense, pronto.
Pilots...don't like it...pack your bags and leave, and don't let the HR door slap you on the behind, on the way out.
Plenty of recruits in todays marketplace to take your place, make no mistake.
