The pilots are restricted to x amount of hours per month. Burning up those hours is not going to help in the long run.
Yup, 100 flight hours per month not to exceed 1000 hours in a calendar year. Once you hit your 1000 you’re off with pay. It’s a FAR and not waiverable.
CFR 121 contains the legal limit for flight time for airline pilots in the US : (a) No certificate holder conducting domestic operations may schedule any flight crew member and no flight crew member may accept an assignment for flight time in scheduled air transportation or in other commercial flying if that crew member’s total flight time in all commercial flying will exceed— (1) 1,000 hours in any calendar year; (2) 100 hours in any calendar month; (3) 30 hours in any 7 consecutive days;
