Gulfstream 200 said:I guess what I was refering to was the larger, well staffed flight departments...
yes, there are BUSY months, but we all average 15 days a month and 250-350 hrs a year.
If, say, you are staffed with 2 pilots per airplane....yes, you will fly A LOT. (like whenever the plane goes out, duh!)...
Im sure it varies greatly by company!
G200,
I know you were referring to larger departments. Couldn't resist the opportunity to vent a little
Each pilot, with exception of the CP and chief of MX fly about 300 hours a year. However, when not flying we are REQUIRED to work at the hangar. It's not that bad on days where there is work to be done. The bummer is when the work is caught up and we're making work to keep busy. Top it off with the schedule I mentioned above and a few days off would be greatly appreciated without taking vacation time.
Regards,
