1. No, you are in any given Ryanair base every night. Last summer, "home" as you refer to it, was 10 nights in STN, 5 nights in MAD, 5 nights in EDI, 5 nights in LPL, 5 nights in LPA, 10 nights in OPO and 1 night in BOH. And guess what... not one of those bases has a direct flight from my base.
......... trawl your way to an Etap, Formule 1 or other sorry excuse for a hotel, .....
So, if a pilot is on a floating contract who pays for the hotel?
