Not doable by helicopter, not when you just have to be there for your report time regardless of the weather. Not on the days where you are on the first wave and wouldn't be able to land early enough to make your report time because the airport isn't open in time. Not on the days where the weather is good enough for a departure to offshore, but not a landing so you can't get in. Not on the days when you couldn't get out of your own landing site because of the weather. (And it's going to have to be a twin). Not on the days where your positioning flight would count towards your FTL and limit your flying. Not on the days where you land your last flight just as the airport closes.

There's enough pressure on trying to get your company flights away on the marginal days, without having the additional pressure of trying to get to work as well...
