Why in God's name would you want to bust a gut flying 900 hours per year with BA when you could join Virgin and only have to do 750 hours per year?

Big difference.
Yes, but when is an hour not an hour? The Devil's in the details, and it's the details that FLR is attempting to drag into the limelight.

900/750 actual flight hrs as measured on a watch to be a logbook entry or 900/750 of credited hours which accommodate other factors such as simulator/ground based training, hiccups in the schedule, etc?

I get paid by credited hours, which because of a nebulous formula, far exceed those entered in my logbook.

Big difference.
