i don’t understand why Pilots are only paid by flight hour. Sounds like you guys are working long days and should be getting time and a half or double time for anything over 8 hours a day. Also, by only getting paid by the flight hour you are effectively only getting a portion of that pay per actual hour worked. So you make 150 per flight hour but in essence I’m guessing you are making way less than that per hour on the clock.
