The most pilots can now average in any 365 day period, is 83 hours/month.
80 is quite a lot, your pushing 950+ a year.
You are talking about FAR's which is block time only, that is not what we get paid.
You've got to add in all the DH, Vacation, Training, sick time, etc. My math is not off, but you might want to check yours, or just pick up the pone and call the DALPA office and ask them, "What is the average line holder getting paid today?". It'll be north of 87 hours. For every guy with a 72 hour month, there's another guy with a 100+ hour month. Our PBS rules allow it.
