Now now Joyce, don't lead the poor chap down the wrong path.

you are correct we can only do 900 hours a year but this only applies to the actual time in the seat. not the check in turn round training, positioning, check out, delays office duties, paperwork prep etc etc etc. so realistically you will be in uniform for at least 8 to ten hour EVERY day you put the uniform on - even if you only fly for a few hours.

my experience is that flight crews will certainly do 1800 hours a year easilly.

I woun't even comment on the money for old rope bit..... if you don't know, I couldn't teach you.

edited for spelling.....loaded doing the old rope thing but too busy to type slowly.......
