You do not work 5 months of the year. Especially as a new hire with no PTO and no vacation time in the bank.

50 weeks at 40 hours = 2000 hours
365 days at 24 hours = 8760 hours

I’d love to know why you still haven’t addressed the fact that you lied on multiple occasions by saying you left UAL for NJA.

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.
