Oh goodness no! They don't look at your bidding patterns and look at who's too homesick etc. Well I hope not anyway...

Right now, the system they have is that you bid for 5 requests, whether they be flights, days off, etc. So you can pick your home country, plus 4 other destinations if you really wanted to. Plus it's only natural for crew to want to go back home, esp to see family, friends and partners etc. It's also beneficial for the company if you're a native speaker of that country to request flights there.

And you never know, you might not bid for your home city, and end up getting a heap of flights there!
