To all you Princesses out there, it is time to toughen up.....WALK OFF! I cast my mind back to the late 1990s when pilots were constantly on 90+ hours per month and the violation rate ( missed calls, altitude busts, incorrect loading the FMGC and missed/misunderstood clearances) rose alarmingly.
Pilots can operate 75 hours per month all year long. 80 to 85 hours per month and by month ten they are dragging their knuckles. Any more that 80-85 and the pilots are tired all the time.
Good luck to you, I am just grateful that I am out of that nonsense.
