So, A380 Captains only do 480 hours a year. Is that the average including management and training Captains? Who would operate a fleet of aircraft as small as Qantas does remember the classic you had 4 of those. If you have enough aircraft and therefore frequency you get the hours from the pilots. In the days of 30 400s we were all doing 800/900 hours per year. We can do it Alan. Once again you try to shift the blame from the idiot management to the staff. Piss off before there is nothing left.
