What hours do airline pilots work?

Ian Pullin (Retired British Airways Pilot) gives expert video advice on: How much can a successful airline pilot earn?; Do you sleep on a very long flight?; What happens if a passenger becomes seriously ill in mid air? and more...

There are, but I am not current on what the current regulations are. If you think you could work 12 hours in a day, I suppose it was something like 30 hours in four days. Then, you would have to have a day off. Those rules changed, and by the time I left, we were doing six days on, two days off. You weren't doing such long days. You were doing London-Glascow-Glascow-London-London-Edinborough-nightstop, so it wasn't taking you anything like 12 hours. By the time that you're done at six days in, you felt you've done your days work, or your week's work.
