Well the straight answer to the question is I work from home so I don't have to commute anywhere!

However my record when I was flying from EMA was Brakes On to Home in 30 minutes, on a bad day it might be 40 minutes.

When I was flying from MAN it was a different story - 71 miles and didn't I get to know that route well!! In the middle of the night 1 hour 15 minutes was possible but it could be over 2 hours given the rush hour. I did this for three years and vowed never ever again to commute such long distances to work as a) it's very expensive b) fatiguing and c) stressful.

I find it quite horrifying when I hear how long some crew members spend commuting to and from work. Yes it all depends whether you are long short or short haul etc. but given the fact that the traffic seems to get worse everyday and the lunatic driving which one seems to witness on a regular basis it's not a recipe for longevity.
