Believe me, I flew a tad over 800 hard-time hours last year. Including two weeks of vacation, a week of recurrent, that still averages out to 60-plus hours of hard block-in to block-out flying time.

Actually, we really don't have that many supervisory positions compared to regularly flying line pilots. Even some of the reserves are working 50 to 70 hours hard time monthly.

Keep in mind that the reporter probably got assigned the story and didn't research much, whereas I'm sitting here in the pilot lounge typing away at a keyboard.
