Home most nights, 99% of the crews will be back home by the end of the night, 4 crews over night in LHR, 2-6 crews overnight in BHD, 1 crew overnight in SNN and occasionally crews are sent down to ORK to supplement the pilot base there.

Not anymore since the return to the west coast 3 years back, flights operate daily, with about 26 hours on the ground downroute, then back to Dublin for 3 days off (not including the day of arrival). Occasionally in winter there may be opportunities for 2 night stops downroute if frequency drops off in January/February but the trend has been moving towards maintaining frequencies even through the winter.
