Well.... My roster is from the 25th till the 22nd and contains 15 working days totalling 66 blockhours. This however includes 2 days given because they had to compensate me for earlier things regarding rostering rules and two flights which include 1 and 2 days extra layover due to no daily flights.
So without those days, 17-18 working days are not really that abnormal in the area you describe (western europe, where I work (legacy carrier)).
The difference is that such a roster would be considered busy here, as at EK it's probably an easy month....
