Jet Blue Airlines
Base - jetblue airlines

I believe JetBlue airlines should make it mandatory for all pilots to live no further then 300 miles from their base location. This would ensure that pilots are well rested and better equipped to handle life and death situations. After all they do have hundreds of people's lives in their hands. I am aware of a pilot that works for jet blue right now that is based out of Boston, but lives in Oregon. He must commute from one coast to another before he can even start working. This is absurd. Clearly a person would have to be out of their mind to not value their health, time and energy spent making such a long commute for only 2 days of work. Sometimes this person spends more time in airports trying to get back home then they actually spend working. I worry about the stress and mental state of a person under this kind of duress.
