Its interesting. The major low cost carriers in Europe have developed
business models where they have a number of bases with the aim that crews
get to their own homes after each duty session. As well as cutting out
the
costs of paying for accommodation, crews are in better shape from having
a
stable home life.

How many of those pilots actually live in those bases? Just like in the
US,
many pilots commute to their assigned base.

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.
