I don't know how prevalent long distance pilot commuting is currently, but only a decade or so ago, I knew a DL pilot who would leave his home in southeastern MA (BOS pilot base had closed) about 0930 to catch an 1130 DL shuttle flight BOS-LGA, taxi from LGA to JFK to command the DL flight JFK-SVO leaving between 1600-1630. This would happen 4-5 times a month.

His landings at SVO came at 0200 or so "body clock time" after a pretty long day. There was a rest period during the TATL flight.
