Do commercial airline pilots get to go home every night. Or do they have to stay in other cities for a while before returning home? Thanks!

I’ve been reading about airline hourly wages and I was curious how it all works out. What I mean is that the airlines guarantee a certain number of hours a month (seems to be 75-80 hours), but do you only get paid for actual flight hours? Or is it more one of those things where you clock in and get paid for the whole time you’re working, such as doing your preflight and all that? I’m sorry if this question seems dumb but I don’t know how things work in the airlines.

Ahmaendah asked:


Airlines are forced to locate very close to each other both physically, at the airport and relative to consumers online. Assuming that price competition is intense in the airline industry.

How does the Hotelling model predict airline firms will behave?

I think they will appeal to the consumers by providing incentatives such as food and nonstop flights.
