Hey...
I have a quick question. About how many hours per week do airline pilots work?
Thanks
Ben

Depends. What flights, what rank (Captain, F/O, etc.), what airplane, what airline. Every week you can be working different hours depending on the route you get.
For example, some pilots, the high end ones, fly about 12-15 days a month, flying the max 8 hours per day then switching crews.
Others, the new guys, regional pilots, may fly 8 hours a day, every day, including weekends. Like I said, depends on the airline and everything else.
Pilot for a major US airline certified in the: EMB-120, CRJ, 727, 737, 757, 767, and A-320 and military, T-38, C-130, C-141, and C-5 along with misc. other small airplanes. Any questions, I'm here for you.

Maybe I could refer you to a great website that has a ton of real-world info on this kind of stuff.
www.jetcareers.com
I'm a member there, along with a whole slew of very knowlegable people who fly in the airline/corporate environment every day.
&&It is better to remain silent and be considered a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.&&&&There were once four people named Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody. Somebody had to do a job, but Nobody wanted to do it. Nobody could see that Anybody could do it, and Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Nobody ended up doing it, and it so happened that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
