Ultimately, I think it's reasonable for an airline to expect you to live where you work. Every other job in America already does, why should pilots be different?

I'm a long distance commuter, and any rule changes would SUCK. But I personally don't think the airlines OWE me the privilege of being able to commute to work (my choice, ultimately).

Just my asinine opinion though. Here's to hoping a Federal Agency doesn't step in to "fix" this situation.
Every other job in America does not mandate that you live where you work; they just require you to show up to work when you are supposed to. It is unconstitutional to draft a law requiring a person to live at a certain location. This is not old Russia.
