What are you talking about? The FAA has No issue with a commute. Every airline does it.
They have an issue with pilots doing any sort of work for the airline without starting the duty clock, they have stated that cleaning is work. Only JB pilots (that I’m aware of) are required to do work on their commute in. You are breaking the law if you clean and don’t start your duty time.
