How hard do you work?

[pilothouse]

I would interpret the statistics slightly differently.

2-3 days becomes an annual average 3 days per week if you allow for training and leave, and 4 to 5 days in summer if you take into account a quiet winter.

Then allow for quite a few early out-and-back Edinburghs and Amsterdams which bring down the average sector length. This means that the other flights average 2.5 to 3 hours, say mostly Malagas, Murcias, Alicantes and Faros.

And the little bit of night is mainly these longer flights returning after dark.

Happily 4 sector days out of Manchester are rare (so far) because of the 1.5 hour report (essential due remote stands) and the general scheduling of the aircraft.

It all makes for some very pleasant flying and long may it continue, but nothing in aviation ever does.........
