Interesting that the Guvnor is back to his pilot bashing, albeit a little toned down now.
"said pilots will have to work much harder. Like 100 hours per month, instead of the current industry average of just over 50."
Where did this 50hours per month come from? For a man who has claimed 4000hours as a commander on B707 and DC8 aircraft I would have thought you would have a little better knowledge of the working structure of a pilot's life! The job isn't just "wheels-off to wheels-on" matey!
