They say that families suffer a lot with EK in that crews are constanly on long tours with little time for family. Added to this is the factoring of flying hours where a pilot can do in excess of a 100hrs and yet after factoring falls within CAA limits of under a 100hrs in 28 days. Can someone enlighten me with the facts? I have heard 8-10 days off a month with 76hrs. In a month on average, how many nights is a pilot at home with the family? I have a wife and 2 young kids and that is the main reason I ask..
