Even European pilots do not like Norwegian

I'd wager that I fly more than several of the airline guys here. I know I fly a lot more now than I did when I was still an airline pilot. I avoided work then.

Whatdya offering? Not to many FPL ho's post here. Was only you and Seggy really. Even he went back to the line.
 
I fly about 910-930 hrs a year. Not hard when you do very productive transcon trips. August has me 15 days off, 16 days of flying that is 95 block hours.

Most other airlines including legacies, to block 95 hrs you're looking at 11-13 days off. Here it's more because of the route network and productive trips.

I've been averaging 75-80 a month with 15-16 days off. That's 900-960 a year for only working 180 or so days a year. Plus, the beers better in Europe.

Yeah but what about vacation and training and such? I get 3 weeks/year plus 2 sim events (every 6 months). This ends up being 10.5 - 17.5 hrs of soft time so those months I block less. But even accounting for all those hours, I'm still around 910-930ish annually.

And I don't drink beer. How's their Sprite Zero? Same stuff or watered down? :)

Yeah, forgot to subtract those. Don't drink soda. It's bad for you. Unless it has booze in it.

That's fine. I was only curious how one finds by image only and turns out google images is creeper friendly and all one has to do is drop the image in the search field. Didn't even know that til just now. Wow.

Yeah, man...google image search has been saucing porn on 4chan for a long time.

I tried to "do me" without any success with two different pictures. While the group seems correctly-settled on this issue, I'm still left wondering (a bit) how accurate it may be. I'm not hugely technically-savvy, though.

Not sure what you are talking about.

I've never been out on full time flight pay loss.

Well, there was that one time. ;)

@Cptnchia I get you're upset over the pilots who take advantage of FPL, but @Seggy never has. Even after our accident and merger I can count on one hand how many months he was on full time buy and ALPA wasn't paying for it.
