I hear ya. Think of how many guys getting 70 hours a month one guy getting 200 pulls up to 87. I have flown with a few Captains who were getting 140 hour months. It does not happen a lot, but when it does it really pulls the average up.
The 87 hour average for DAL Pilots is not unrealistic. Now 87 hours at a more appropriate pay rate (read - higher) and your talking my lingo!
