I think it's a little bit of a fib saying pilots only work 18 hours a week of which 25 hours a week is the maximum. The general public would think this is a joke! I think BB and AJ should not be so economic on the truth and actually explain how those hours are in the seat from brakes release to brakes set. There are a lot more hours worked per week on duty with flight planning and turn arounds etc than just 18hours. A slightly beneficial figure for the company to quote.
