900 hours 'work' is SUCH DISINFORMATION & MISLEADING. If you do not understand the differnece between FTLs, Flying hours, duty hours etc

On average we (both SH & LH) work about 2,500 hours at work, away from home, per annum. Do you think we get teleported into and out of the flightdeck ..?

PS 2,500 hrs pa divded by 48 weeks at work = 52 hrs/week. Anybody in Waterworld work that ?

Then add onto that: multiple & compouding time zone changes, time away from your home, your wife, your children your life can be awkward at times.

Please dont compare a GPs home every night 'extended office' hours to mine.
