I do apologise, but with a name like that are you expected to be taken seriously on a pilots forum? Perhaps your latest assessment of the truth answers that question. The FTL limits, and which are often worked to, are 2000hrs work per year. This is not just the time spent airborne. That is 900hrs. 4 weeks holiday = 48 weeks for 2000hrs = >40hrs/week. But we work 24/7 = shift work with no compensation. Try it yourself, in a non-cosy environment with no regular breaks, and then report back.
