Billy Johns -deceased- had over 25,000 before he retired at 70. I think Captain Honner semi-retired has close to 27,000 hours, just a guess,correct me if I am wrong (I'm sure he won't mind me giving him a rap and mentioning his name) and then there is good old John Regan who was flying strong at 80; it's anyone's guess how many hours he had? He was a CASA inspector.
But you are right they, CASA PNG, are undermanned and under paid. Yes they certainly flew a lot of short sectors and long days in the Talair/Douglas days accumulating 900 hours sometimes in 10 months, resulting in a nice long deserved break.
