That, and you're stuck using the ridiculous (to me) "1.4 hours" nonsense.
Why don't we just use "1:24", like the rest of the civilized world?

Why doesn't the civilized world give up the 1:24 nonsense, and go with 1.4?

Now if we had an extra finger on each hand, I'd differ. Base 12 is really a
great base - most fractions are nice fractions. Base ten has only one nice
fraction.

Especially for guys like me that are more than 8 flights behind in
their log books. Luckily I write receipts for my students so I can
remember those flights. I'm sure there are flights I take by myself
that I never remember when it comes time to sit in front of the T.V
and update the log book.
