Okay - People and even politicians, as well as newspapers, quote the hours worked by a flight crew member as 80 hours a month. This a number that was negotiated through years of labor/management contracts in regards to hours paid only (read:not worked). In other words, Crew Members are only paid when the "wheels are moving", i.e. pushed back from the gate until parking the brake at Destination. This does not begin to account for the total hours worked getting an airplane ready to load passengers or cargo, flight planning, weather planning, pre-flighting the cockpit, monitoring fueling, weight and balance, security briefing crew and air marshalls, reviewing maintanence log books and exceptions, exterior inspection, weekly updates to charts and airports and navigation sites that must be reviewed and filed prior to getting paid, deplanning passengers or cargo; all accomplished in an efficient and professional manner "off the clock". Now add in the hours spent away from home waiting to be legal for the return leg - sitting in a hotel room or worse lounging at the airport - and you have employees devoting 2 hours for every 1 hour paid time. And that is only for normal operations. The Pilots must also make correct decisions which sometimes take the aircraft away from its scheduled destination for reasons of medical emergencies or weather related delays or mechanical problems.
