peter47:Your methodology needs to recognise that aircraft are flown by CREWS
That means min of 2 pilots /airframe and sometimes up to 4 pilots/ airframe. No flight can be made with only one pilot! Thus your figures are out by an order of 100 percent minimum.
A more realistic yardstick is hours flown per crew. The captain flies the same hour by hour as his F/O.
