How does the number of hours even matter? You earn on avarage so many perk points per hour depending on your skill level and, probably, on time spent flying. Once you have a perk plane, you lose it in certain average time also based on your skill level.
For example if you earn 15 minutes of perk-flying in an hour you will be in a perk plane 25% of the time. It does not matter if you fly 1 hour a week or 30. Or do you think that someone flying 30 hours should spend the same 15 minutes a week in a perk plane rather then 7.5? The number of hours he spends does not affect you negatively because you can see him only when you are flying and only in as a single person at a time - so he cannot outnumber you, perk plane or not. The more hours he flies, the greater chance
you have to find a non-empty arena. But once someone is there, his chance of being in a perk plane in no way depends on the number of hours he flies (other then building his skill of course).
When you grow up and join the workforce, you will see the most common example of that in a hourly wages. If you are making $100 and hour you are considered much higher paid then a guy making $10/hour.
If he works a year round he makes $20,000 total (without overtime).
If you choose to work 4 hours a week, you will make $400 * 50 = $20,000 - same him!
It would be as unfair on his part to ask to be paid more then you because he is spending more hours, as for you to be asking for more money because you cannot spend more time working.
