Swedish,
You seem to have made an amateurish mistake in saying that we 'only turn up for work for 900 hours per year', you are obviously not a pilot. The 900 hour limit is on flying hours, so actual time that the aircraft is moving, we work much longer than this. Briefings, turn-arounds, admin, positioning between airports or aircraft do not fall under this limit. In fact on a given day you may only work for 4-6 flying hours but may have worked 10.5 - 12 hours during the day.
