It's next to impossible to gather information as to whether it is "a demonstrated, continuous problem." The commute issue of 3407's F/O was of considerable concern to the NTSB.
Given the considerable changes due to the Colgan crash along with the implementation of FAR 117, there's been ample opportunity to address it if it was deemed thst dangerous. As tragic as Colgan was, it was one accident and there are a lot of other pieces to that puzzle besides commuting.
