i think some calculations are wrong
2 legs intercontinental a day???
360 legs (intercontinental ) a year???
that could means 360 x 6/8 hours a leg =2880/2160 a year
please guys ....!!!

tipical costs of all employees are from 8 to 12 % for airlines
and pilot have the higher salary

planes are not allways full and pilots flying no more than 900 hours a year(too much anyway)

that doesn't mean they coudn't rise salary of the pilot to be more actractive
