Default That commute might get a little harder...

Airline Defends Training of Pilot in Crash - WSJ.com

From a WSJ article that previews tommorow's NTSB hearings on Colgan 3407:

The National Transportation Safety Board hearing also will delve into fatigue affecting pilots who have long airline commutes from home before starting their duty day. Like the majority of Colgan pilots who work out of Newark, Capt. Renslow had to fly to commute to work. His co-pilot, Rebecca Shaw, took an overnight red-eye flight from Seattle the day of the accident.
As a commuter (albeit with a relatively short commute), this a can of worms that I don't want opened. The last thing I want to see are restrictions placed on how I get to work.
