Under the facts of your scenario, the first criterion of§ 13 5.263(c) is not met. In regard to the first criterion, the FAA has interpreted "local transportation" as transportation that is reasonably brief, and that includes travel by crewmembers from their residences, a hotel, or a motel to an airport. Id.; see also Legal Interpretation to James W. Johnson from Donald P. Byrne, Assistant Chief Counsel for Regulations and Enforcement (March 27, 1992). Local transportation may also include travel between co-domicile airports, sometimes with transit times exceeding one and a half hours (between Los Angeles International Airport and John Wayne Airport). See Johnson In terpretation (July 14, 1992). In a previous interpretation, the FAA found that t~ansportation by a crewmember from BWI to Dulles, that is required and provided by the carrier, is still considered part of the crewmember's rest period because it is local in nature. See id. The interpretation identified BWI and Dulles as co-domicile airports with travel time between them sometimes exceeding one hour. Co-domicile airports are generally within a relatively close geographic location to one another, and it is reasonable to assume that crewmembers dispatched from one co-domicile airport might terminate at the other.
