20%?

Fair enough if you arrive at a different number. But to get the hours down to 75-80 and get it so people are actually receiving meaningful leave. (Not working a full months roster then being sent on leave.) Useful leave not forced in 7 day blocks, then 20% is my number. If you want to throw in credit for sims, ground school, distant learning and vacation then I think it goes up more. Flying 90 house a month on the sunny side is one thing, but flying the entire back of the clock 4-10 times a month then yes the schedules need to be closer to 70 hours for safety and long term health.
