Commuting distance to base - UK Airlines
Good afternoon guys,
Would just like to quickly ask about UK operators and their rules regarding the commuting distance to work.
I've seen in the past that a pilot must live within 45 minutes (If I remember correctly) from his home base.
Is there an issue regarding commuting time these days? For example would a 50 minute journey time send a shiver down managements spine? An ignorant assumption of mine would assume that the introduction of 'airport standbys' would remove the requirement for such regulations to be present in a FC contract these days.
