hours an airline pilot works
Best Answer: Airline pilots are limited to 100 hours of flying in a month, 30 hours of flying in 7 days and 8 hours of flying a day. Also, I usually get 13-15 days off a month. 8 hours of flying means 10-12 hours on duty,legally limited to 16 hours of duty time. So someone who works 40 hours a week is only working 8 hours over 5 days, where I could be working on 50-60 hours. Also, for those 5 days, I'm not home.
