Most live at those bases. For example, Ryanair main base at London
Stansted
has a base in Poland and guess what, they have Polish pilots. Moving
people
around Europe is not the same as moving people around the US.
It is a model which suits all, crew and company.

Ryanair had pilots in the US also. They spent 6 months in the US and 6
months in Ireland and Britian during tourist season.
