Pilots are only allowed to fly 100h a month? That seems really low, considering a 40 hour work week over 4 weeks in a month is 160h. Although I guess I would rather have my pilot more energized than overworked.

There’s work before and after the flight that isn’t included in that 100 hours.

Even less if commercial airplane pilot it seems. 100h is for transport

There is some confusion here. Transport pilots are commercial pilots.
