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?

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!

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)

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.
