If you are a heart surgery fellow (a "fellow" is a dude subspecializing...heart surgery is 2 additional years after a general surgery), its OK to do heart surgery eighty hours a week.
So why can an airline pilot fly an airliner only 30 hours a week?

Of course the question should be...why is it OK for a heart surgeon to operate after an 80 hour week...oh SH1T I feel a heart pain......Ripper
