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.
Most introductory pilot jobs, besides flight instructor, require the pilot to have somewhere between 500 and 1000 hours piloting the helicopter, with most leaning towards the 1000 hour+ side. The most cost-effective way to attain those hours is as a flight instructor. Flight instructors commonly have about 200 hours when they begin flight instruction. In some models of helicopter, you are required to have 200 hrs before you may instruct. Flight instructors are required to have a minimum of 200 hours.
