Contacted you must be a company man with your insane dose of reality.
71 hours a month? Give me the drugs you are on because I sure could use them to help me sleep through the night and recover quicker after another all nighter.
I had 3 weeks vacation a few months back and flew 44 hours for the month. Think about how abused I was that month. In 11 days of work I flew 44 hours. Almost a full month at other airlines. I have not been below 90 hours and I know of no one that flies less than me.
We have too many pilots that are over 1000 hours for the year and 25% of the Emirates pilots that are over 900 hours.
Combine that with east-west crossovers, 2am starts, 6am finishes and then do the reverse pattern next week and you have for a very tired work force. It does't matter, Ryan Air pilots love it here.
