Fatigue is another factor I'd like to avoid. 6 ULH a month doesn't sound like a dream to me and while money is good, it's just OK if you do salary/BH.
Just for the sake of accuracy, at EK, we do not do 120 - 150 hours per month. I can't comment on QR though. I have a busy month next month with 90 hours - 4 trips, 2 of them ULR. I have 12 clear days off and another 6 or so rest/standby days, for a good 18 days at home.
