Not anymore but when I worked for a commuter out of EWR we had a FA who had a BF in EGLL and she commuted a few times a month. She said she never had issues.

Maybe just work for a company in Europe instead of having to cross the pond several times a month

It's actually easier international vs transcontinental.

Every time I head overseas it puts a toll on me, with the jet lag and timezones, maybe other handle it better. It's gonna be tough on a reserve schedule with 11-12 days off, eating up a good 6-7 hours for the flight alone.

EGLL? Seriously? We can't say LHR like a normal person?

This guy uses no and know interchangeably. Not a normal person.

I can't imagine commuting from Europe for a regional job unless you were a very senior captain and could bid back to back high-credit trips. I don't see how it could work as an FO or junior CA. Also, LHR has pretty high departure taxes, over a $100 a pop I think, depending on the £. Not sure if there's a way around them as a jumpseater.

Cargo airline out of LHR/London area avoids the tax, or so I've been told...
