I have been both a local employee and a commuter, and I have to say that aside from the odd M25 disaster or airport closure through snow then one is no more stressful or time-consuming than the other.

You seem content to break the law. I am sure your employers regard you as an absolute gift. The airline distances itself from the employment reality it has created in the sure and certain knowledge that if an employee is caught abusing security all they have to do is to fire them and the problem (and any
PR fallout) disappears at a stroke.
Whilst selfishly feathering your own little nests the professional status and reward so long fought-for by our predecessors becomes ever degraded. With every new pilot joining the industry that is prepared to cut corners and do something else for nothing the downward spiral continues.
