"No other airline does the pattern/hour combinations we're doing. We are the lab rats in the sad new world of the greed fueled, inadequately regulated airline industry" .... Marooned.

Of course there are other airlines who fly their crews hard, try talking to some KAL, EVA, CAL, Air China, etc crews. 1000 hours a year, plus there is always speculation and rumour that the limit will be raised to 1200 hours a year.

The KAL 744 and 777 crews typically spend up to 120 a month in the aircraft to accumulate 80 hours stick time.

I stand to be corrected though ....
