I had a friend flying for an Oriental airline out of Vancouver to Taiwan, he was commuting from Oslo.
That would be a different kettle of fish than the sort of commute that regional airline pilots do...a long term commute, whereby you stay flying for three-four weeks, then return to you domocile for days off.
Nothing wrong with this, IMO...its the short commutes weekly that are tiring, and pilots should be paid a reasonable cost of living base allowance to enable them to rest properly....at base.
Of course, regional airlines will say this is far too expensive, so tired pilots will continue to fly tiring schedules, and more accidents/incidents are likely to occur.
