10. Flight Crew Hours
It’s not just the pilots that are extremely tired, but the flight crew is just as exhausted. In fact, it’s said that most crew usually work 6 days a week, with schedules that range from both short to long flights. And if that wasn’t sad enough, apparently it’s also been reported that crew members only get paid once the cabin doors of the flight are closed for take off. Any time spent on the airplane before take off means that they aren’t getting a stipend. So if you’re antsy to get your flight underway, they might be even more excited to get up in the air than you are.
