Who here has the WORST commute?
 
A quick survey here on APC, raise you hand and speak up if you think you have a commute from hell. Where do you live, and where do you have to commute all the way to?

9 miles from apartment to CMI. So far I hold the prize!

I live in Baltimore, Maryland and I commute to New York: BWI-LGA. My commute is only one hour long but what makes it terrible is the fact that it is a commute.

I only live 16 miles away from my office, but I sit in Atlanta traffic on I-75 and my commute can take up to 90 minutes some days.

I live in the greater Dallas area and commute to St. Louis. Not the worst commute, but couldn't be a worse city (STL) to have a crash pad in.

Its only 3miles from my apartment in downtown Boston to Logan Airport, but riding the T (subway system) can take up to an hour, endless questions asking "Are you a pilot??", and packed into the stuffy subway like sardines can add up to be hectic!

104 miles round trip a day in a v8

I used to do SAN-PHL. Always full flights, always two jumpseaters in the cockpit (bus). Worst JS ride ever included 2 hours Wx delay on the taxiway in PHL, followed by 200kt headwinds...almost 10 hours on that little JS (squished next to the other JSer) :mad:

Up until the last few months I was commuting from the mid-Atlantic to LAX. Took at least half a day in either direction and a min of 2 legs. Luckily I usually only did 1 round trip a month. Now being based in JFK makes it mucho easier with one leg and no Mesa airplanes to contend with.

I used to do CVG to either BUR/LAX/ONT (based in CVG). That was pretty raw..sometimes had to had get on ABX out of ILN to LAX or vice versa...on one of those flights I met a pilot who commuted Tokyo - ILN. That might be your "winner" right there.
