Also the only folks who work 40 hour weeks are fast food, clerks, secretaries, admins, shippers, etc. White collar people comparable to professional pilots are typically putting in significantly more hours, plus on the leash at all times. BTDT, I sure never had 8 hours/day to myself on a workday.
Absolutely. I just REALLY don't agree with people on a 7/7 schedule saying they work half a year. Even if an office yob is 12 hours per day, by the time you add the weekend and 2 weeks off it is still less than half a year because 24 hr per day..... Semantics I guess, because if you say I am OFF half the year it sounds more acceptable to me. I will go home now.
