What do you mean you don't understand what the poster was getting at? It's pretty obvious... Sitting in a car or a plane commuting has added health implications which affects physical health. We already expose ourselves to more radiation then the norm, and not to mention dry ary, that has adverse health effects, so why expose yourself to it even more, by sitting in a plane or a car for hours on end, where as if you don't commute, that extra time can be spent say I don't know, excercisng? Or even if you don't exercise, you're exposing yourself less to radiation, in the case of commuting by plane.
That's what commuting has on physical health, pretty obvious I'd say.
I understand some commute by choice, or because they can't afford to live in a city like Toronto, but let's not pretend that commuting doesn't have adverse health implications, both mentally and physically...
The fact that what you do for living has health implications should make you MORE concerned about your health, not less
Look, the poster wasn’t specific about the health concerns, ok!
He could have been referring to the stress of the commute but in case you weren’t aware, everything you do has health implications.
What is the smog on a daily basis living in big cities versus the slight increase in radiation exposure, do you know the answer to that, I know I don’t but I have to imagine smog is hard on your health. Sitting in Toronto traffic inhaling all the rush hour fumes can’t be good for you either and yes, the stress of living here and your house poor has adverse health implications, I don’t worry about a couple of extra short hops per month in the GRAND SCHEME of things but by all means you go ahead.
Alright, enjoy your commute!
The people who are the most vocal about radiation, seem to be the ones who are also 70 lbs overweight, drink to excess, and can't remember the last time they've seen the inside of a gym.

But yeah, "radiation" is the biggest health risk.
Amazing, I give one example of an associated physical health risk, and you extrapolate that into a wild tangent... Good on you bud, I'll get off avcanada now, I remember now why I seldom post here

May I suggest taking out your frustration in the gym?

Boy I'm sure you're a joy to fly with...
I said I wouldn't post, and I could make a snide remark and get into a pointless pissing contest with you, but I'll refrain and just say that I'll be a professional, since there doesn't seem like there's much of that left in the industry these days anyways

Especially on these forums
Says the guy that used another aviator’s divorce in a vein attempt to discredit them during an internet argument. Pot meet kettle.
Back on topic shall we boys and girls?
I personally didn’t mind commuting as long as it was a short distance and by car. For example, YOW-YUL was easier to drive than to airline out. One couldn’t pay me enough to commute YOW-YYZ or even worse YVR on the airlines. That’s just my perspective… ymmv
As for commuting, I enjoyed it for a variety of reasons but had long periods between commutes flights and much of it was confirmed seat paid by the company.
F8 was the last airline to stop the free reciprocal JS, nobody here knows why we did, it just happened one day. And WS was the first and only airline that I know of to weaponize JS travel. We have a mess of a JS program in this country and need to take the power back.

It was because (in my belief with zero evidence lol) they got caught not charging airport fees that are supposed to be charged. This is the country we live in. We have a pay per user model for airports fees while the FAA just uses freshly printed American money to fund their transportation sector. This is why municipal airports have 8000 foot runways with ILSs at both ends.
Greedy airports in Canada probably got wind of it and shut that down quick fast.
