This will align the pilots with how it is in the world of ATC. We are currently "allowed" to work 16h days, with up to 63h a week.
During the last week I worked:
Wedensday: Double shift (16h)
Thursday: Evening shift (8h)
Friday: Double shift (16h)
Saturday: Morning shift (8h) + Night shift to sunday (9h)
Sunday: Evening shift (7h)
Monday: Morning shift (8h)
Tuesday: Morning shift (8h)
80 hours in 6 days.
We can exceed the 63h limit because the the "weekly hour counter" is reset on mondays. Quite priceless.
