As to what the actual hours each group are working I'm not sure, but I can't imagine too many airlines aren't rostering pilots substantially below maximum hours.
QF roster average hours are balanced between bases. The nature of the flying out of each base ebbs and flows but rostered hours are roughly the same.
Brisbane based 717 captain, haven't flown more than 40hrs a month for since COVID.
I suspect that will change in a year or so.
