17 hour week!
Reading the article most non pilots would think we work a 17 hour week.
They should refer to the max DUTY hours that short haul pilots are more likely to encroach. I worked 180 hours last month, work days typically 7-10 hours with no breaks at all for food or rest. Also It's not just the work load but lack of down time. I work three earlies, two lates then have 56 (can be reduced to 54) hours off. The same as leaving the office at 10pm friday and returning at 6 am Monday.
