To ease your pain a little:
D/H is usually by CV planes, occasionally by commercial airlines (business or better says the CWA) and to my knowledge only Maastricht to Luxembourg is occasionally done by a contract transportation by car. Coupla times a month occurring event (d/h that is...)
Immigration via crew channels, hardly ever a hassle, well taken care of and prominent airlines as well.
Hotels are almost without exception city center locations, couldn't be happier, there's an active hotel committee taking care of this.
You mention your age and experience, joining as an FO, expect more than ten years for command. All the new hires during the last years have been max close to thirty years of age.
Duty times are as per CWA which is more limiting than EU OPS or national legislation.
Trip might internally change, but usually you get home when you're supposed to, no financial gain from roster changes to the crew member.
CV fits for younger guys and girls, still a very much a career airline IMHO.
Hope this helps some.
