3. Are pilots in that habit of calling crew control when their colleagues are late? Many times, I've had the CA not show up until 10-15 minutes prior to pushback. I always have the paperwork printed and the aircraft ready to fly in that case.
4. 20 sectors in 5 days?!?!? That's 4 legs a day, every day. Is that standard for EU low cost carriers, or is that just Ryanair?
