Let's not confuse two issues here.....

I am a commuter - It is a lifestyle choice usually for reasons of family location. From my experience commuting more than one time zone is barely do-able and as EASA has added responsibilities on the shoulders of the operators, those who are long-haul commuting are now very much under the spotlight.

There is a huge difference between choosing to commute from home to a foreign base where you carry out blocks of work..... and being rostered between bases all over Europe to which you have to take yourself on your rostered days off.

On my days off I do not carry out any work at the behest of my employer so they are truly days free of duty for FTL purposes.

Can the same be said of RYR pilots ?
