Don't let Ichans and Lorenzos mis-representation of flight hours apply to duty hours. And that was before my 40-60 hours per month of voluntary union service as the MEC Security Coordinator.
I should have clarified that pilots are typically off more days, not that our hours are less... In my personal preference, I would prefer having more days off, than working half a day less... I don't care how much I work while away from home (up to a limit of course) but I am very concerned with how many days off I get.....
Luckily , my airline does some very easy long haul trips with very little duty time vs block time. So it's all good on my end
