One Hundred hours per month? Put in layman's terms that is Ten eight hour days. What is the maximum hours a Pilot is allowed to fly in one leg of a trip, legally?
FLYING IS EXPNSIVE BECAUSE THE VARIOUS UNIONS.
THEY ARE VERY NEGATIVE CREATE UGLY ATMOSPHERE ON THE JOB, AND THEY ENCOURAGE LAZYNESS.
LACK OF PRODUCTIVITY IS EVEN WORSE THAN THEIR AOUTRAGEOUS SALARIES.

A person who drives a car is called a driver. The rest of the people in the car are passengers. Not so for pilots? "Passengers" and "flyers" are the same thing, in most people's vocabulary. What do pilots call themselves and the the other non-crew people on the aircraft? We park on a driveway, and drive on a parkway; items transported on a ship are called the ship's cargo", and what is transported by truck is a "shipment". Typical for the English language, right?
Overproductions or undermath...? At 1800 flight hours per year, that poor pilot is working twice as much as he's (she's) legally permitted (well, 1.8 times...) plus way outside the union agreement. Additionally, at 79k he'd be one of the worst-paid 320 drivers in the industry, even in the LCCs in Europe. Sure glad I don't work there...
I disagree. Flying is the cheapest method we have ever come up with for traveling. And is getting cheaper every yr..
