Try telling a doctor or dentist they could only work xx hours a month and see how that goes over.
The union and the company determine the number, based on years of collecting the data of what happens when people fly too much or too little. In life, there are limits. Some seem a little too arbitrary too you, but that's just the way it is. What is your solution? FAR's? No thanks! Why is that limit more acceptable to you than a negotiated limit of 82, 85, etc? No limit?? I'd love to be junior in that company!! Holy moly!!
