The 2000 Duty hours per year is mobile workers working time directive not CAP371. Dont compare your job with a 9-5er either as many of your fellows won't allow a 9-5er to be compared with your lifestyle.
If you didnt fly do you think you would get your high salary just doing a 9-5 job?, i doubt it. You'd have to do what i do, 24/7 on call / if i start at 0800 and end at 2200 do i get 14 hours rest or 10? / if i work at the weekend do i get a lieu day or payments for working like Nigels?. er no.
Be real
