Lej is is the biggest issue for most people who don’t/won’t/can’t live there! There are many solutions, some sensible some not.
Unless/until yr on the fixed roster you won’t do 8 days on. Normal is 3-6. Rest periods are out in the network somewhere in a hotel but there will be times when accom is necessary in lej eg sby, flight cx, recurrent ground trg, occasional w/e layovers etc.
Some have their own flat, some share, sometimes 3 in a 2 bed as it’s unlikely all to be there at the same time, some use hotels as required. Be advised that there is a lot of pressure on Bru jumpseats.
These are are important questions for you and us - we invest a lot to get you online! Keep researching this- again plse use the search function and go back in history. There is plenty on DHK already on this site.
Good luck
