How Hard Do You Work?

Around 610 hours last year in the LR60 so far this year I am at 397 hours.

About 350 hours in the Ultra/Encore fleet. I'll take it! Last tour I took 2 airlines, 2 sedan rides and flew exactly 0 hours.

640 in a year in the G200.

530 in my first 12 months after IOE on the Excel/ XLS at NJA.

Yeah, I'm doing the same. I averaged out 350 hours a year in the Encore over the last two years. This year I am trending slightly lower. It appears that the plane breaks down about once every 5 flights or so. Last tour I flew revenue flight two out of 7 days.

I'm waiting for the answer from the XL and Citation X guys...now THERE'S the working class!

Citation X:
2004 - 430
2005 - 380
2006 - 445

Back in the day, I flew 700/year in the Ultra.

140 hours so far this year in the NJA Encore. But I had vacation plus company & airplane recurrent the 1st 6 months of the year so I should see another 200 hours+ for the year which would bring up to my average of 350 hours per year.

Hmmm...

I get screwed no matter what fleet I go to.

How the heck do you fly fewer hours in the X then I do in the Falcon?

I had almost as many hrs by July 2006 in the X as you flew all yr. 353 hrs with 2 vacations and 2 recurrent tours from Jan - Jul 06

Doesn't sound like the X pilots at Netjets work that much harder than other fleet pilots just looking at the hours per year. However, I am sure the number of transcon flights per year makes the total seem that much more tiring... Still, the total hours numbers seem lower than you would expect...
