How many hours?
 

How many hour does a regional airline pilot fly in a day? What about an year?

Less than 8, less than 1000.

i like that answer.

Good Answer Shaun. I had a answer but I couldn't beat what you said so I erased it. No sense beating a dead horse.

At our company, and probably most others, it varies from 1 to 10 hours in a day (though can't legally be scheduled for more than 8 in a day).

We are allowed to fly 1200 hours per calendar year, as well, and I'd say a year-long lineholder would fly somewhere around 1100.

It varies from company to company, and it's also contingent upon equipment type, route structure, and seniority.

At XJT depending on the above factors, you could fly as much as 7 hours a day (scheduled of course) split into 3 to 5 legs max. It's also not unheard of for people to max out in a year (1000 hours as prescribed by the regs). I would say the average ranges between 700-800 hours, once you factor in vacations (we actually get to take ours).

What happens if you reach 1000 hours in less than 12 months?

Vacation...

Huh?????:confused::confused:

As per the regs, you time out for the year.....paid vacation is right!
