Only captains hit the 850/900h mark. FOs VERY rarely manage to fly that amount of hours per year. At present in fact FOs are flying much less as the company hired a huge amount of cadets. If you join as a cadet/DEFO expect to enjoy several -unpaid- 12h standbys per block.
If you get to choose, Ryanair direct contract is a no brainer as it literally saves the income during winter.
I dont now but last year I did more than 800 and year before close to 800 actual as well. And this year flying a lot as well.
