As at 31st May there were exactly 101 pilots, in LH, projected to exceed 820 hours in the preceding 12 months.

It is also worthy of note that those hours include time asleep in the bunk.

BA employs around 3000 pilots and the AVERAGE hours worked quoted in above posts are, like the rest of this thread either wishful thinking or selective in what is being quoted.

Somebody accused me of being a manager, I do so love that hoary old accusation wheeled out when someones biased ramblings are disagreed with.

One further point the most junior pilot would nett. £150 for a one day draft trip. A plumber might earn more but would the plumber's apprentice?
