rogerg: Wirbelsturm, sorry I was only talking about the initial training. once completed and on line 2 hrs is too far. Some other arrangements would have to be made. Just depends how much you want the job.
Not strictly true. I have spoken to a BA Captain who lives around a two hour drive from Heathrow. I guess you could plan your roster so that you didn't have to do that drive every day. But for training I would say that such a drive is basically impossible.
LadyL: This is that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
No regrets! But seriously think very hard about how you could make it work; you might get asked it in an interview.
