Whiskey Bravo - who do you say have + 85 hour week?

You mean they in average of 7 days work over 12 hours a day? hmmm...

Try this schedule for a week or so, wake up 3.30, back in some strange country hotel or apartment at 17.00, talk to wife and daughter on Skype - fall asleep at 20.00 to be awake again at 3.30 - try that for a week non stop, and tell me what you think you would prefer?

You talking because you don't know, one day you might get to know, but than it will be to late!

You not working all those hours, but all those hours are due to you performing your duties, but it works out at least 80+ hours in a week! And you probably make 1/3 of the IT guy to do the same time of work!

Than of course it get's more fun, when you have gusting cross winds of 35 kts, snowstorms and god knows what!
