Americans Work More Hours than Europeans

[KDSM]

I find it interesting that by 24 October Americans have worked the same amount of hours than their European counterparts........Oh yea anybody know where i can get real world flight schedules for say northwest airlink?

[SaVas]

I try to keep my work under 50 hours a week. There is no sense in staying at my job if I can get my work done in a viable timeframe.

[HABU]

Are we talking in general or specific to a job role and what source is your comment based on?

Are you suggesting that Americans work the same amount of hours as Europeans do up to 31st December by 24th October?

I'm happy with 49 hours per week myself and I'm from the UK.

Me as a European ( Belgium) can say we work until the job is done!  ;D

I work 38 hours a week ( officially) but do at least 45 - 50 hours in reality.

Boy, that doesn't leave a lot of time for FS9

Got to talk my boss about that!

Did you ask about a Northwest Airlink schedule so this topic wouldn't get moved?  Check at avsim.com.  In the forum there is a topic of real world flight plans.  

I work enough to get the job done right the first time.  So sense in getting crazy about things....

I don't work anyway-have done my 50 years worth-the next 50 will be Flight Simming- somewhere or other

PS Pardon me while I polish the old crystal ball  :o

(What does this have to do with FS2004  ???)

I know this is claimed for years already and it is true for some part. As always when dealing with numbers, what is the source and how was the measurement performed?

I worked in an American company for 4 years and made just the same hours that I do now. Only, when going for a dinnermeeting, that counts as work too. And in some cultures, dinners and meetings are seperated, in others it is very normal to combine the two.

Although I work less hours a week, I don't have every Christian / banking holiday off. Instead, being in Holland in an international company, I think we are always open, because:
- it is more serviceminded,
- it is sensible to be open if another nation doesn't have the same banking holiday as here,
- THERE IS MORE MONEY INVOLVED. <= biggest reason

Hi JW,
How long have they been having Dinner meetings in Kanalstrasse?

[BFMF]

Why is this in the Flightsim 2004 forum

[JW]

Aeronut, I think you mixed up here
I've been working at a callcenter in Amsterdam in the past, Orlyplaza (nice name for a plaza, right?).

[aeronut]

Apologies JW-Perhaps I was mislead by your pictorial strip-assumed it was Kanalstrasse in Amsterdam-went there on a Squadron 'Bash' once-Had a guided tour round Heineken's as well

[RichardI]

LOL I'm not sure what that means.

It could mean that Europeans are more efficient, couldn't it?

No apologies necessary, Aeronut! Just hope you had a good time! (prolly did  ;)) Yeah, Heineken is always good to visit.

RichardI: I didn't want to go there, but LMAO because you did!  :D

[aeronut]

The next Forum will probably be about an FS9 Trade Union restricting our Flying time

Thinks-
If Polls ever get curtailed/restricted could it be construed
as racism?

[JW]

HA!  :D
Only if you restrict polls of one kind of nationality, and I think it depends on what the poll is about. Bet if you'd poll to have no more moderators you'd get banned!
