Actually that depends on what your definition of "commutable" is. Unlike an airline, we don't have frequent flights to the hubs throughout the day. Flights from out stations to MEM usually depart either very early in the morning (maybe 0500-0600L ish) or the normal 2000-2200L departures with the daily freight to begin that night's sort. The easiest, most stress free commute at Fedex is riding one of our jumpseats to MEM, arriving within a couple of hours of your show time and heading out on your trip after a nap or squadron reunion over a cup of coffee. That only works for domestic ops (or Mexico/Canada).

Unfortunately, Fedex management has an issue with guys doing that before an international trip. There have been pilots removed from trips that were flying MEM to Asia or Europe because they used the company jumpseat and got to domicile with less than a "legal" rest period before their trip. Never mind there is no FAR requirement to do that and commuting time doesn't count toward duty day. Never mind the pilot may have slept all day at home, got a 4-5 hour nap prior to their 0400 departure and will be in the bunk 45 minutes after takeoff for another 4 hours. Somehow the guy who lives in MEM and hangs with the family all day, mows his lawn or spends his last few hours on the "honey-do" list before going in to work is different. Even though he might actually lay down at the exact same time as the guy who commuted in and may not be any more or less rested - commuters aren't trusted to manage our own lives pre-trip. But... I digress. You can see the issue.

What would be an "easy commute" is not. You get up at the crack of dawn (i.e. 24 hours prior to when you're going to be raising the gear handle) to jumpseat on company metal, arriving in domicile 16-20 hours prior to departure. Or you jumpseat or buy a ticket on a normal airline to arrive in MEM at a more reasonable time the day prior to your trip. Either way, you waste most or all of your last day off getting to or actually in MEM in order to rest when management thinks it's best for you to do so. Show up for you trip as an RFO, with plenty of sleep already under your belt only to jump into the bunk and stare at the ceiling for the first 4 hours of the flight. But, hey, you showed up for the trip rested. Again, I digress.

Luckily, there are many international trips that start with a deadhead to another city. You cancel the ticket the company buys to that city from MEM (or whatever your domicile is) and buy a ticket from you home airport to that same destination. Then you don't worry about getting to MEM and the above mentioned issues plus you're on the clock getting paid for the commute.

Sorry - long answer to a seemingly simple question.
