I don't doubt that the decision to bring crews home is a financial one, but I don't agree with your post. To get a crew home from (say) Lahr nowadays is buttons. To keep a crew in a hotel on expenses etc would mean that a 'hold' of only a couple of days would mean it's likely to be cheaper to bring them home. Anyway, is a couple of days in a cheap hotel really that bad if you're getting paid to do it? As long as it's clean....... Take your trainers and a pair of shorts and Bob's your Father's brother!
