To answer the hours question. The 900 Block hours per year rule is for pilots only. Cabin Crews restrictions are 2000 Duty hours per year. There are also the following Restrictions:-
60 Hours in any 7 consecutive days but can increase to 65 hours "On the day" i.e. due to delays!!!
105 Hours in any 14 Consecutive Days
210 Hours in any 28 Consecutive Days.
Hope this helps.

Chris I am not meaning to step on your toes with this one, but I have just checked in my manual with a copy of the CAA Flight Time Limitations
and he says........
Cumulative Flying Hour Limits Shall Be A Maximum Of:
100 hours in any 28 consecutive days
270 hours in any 12 consecutive weeks
550 hours in any 6 consecutive months
75o hours in any 9 consecutive months, And
900 hours in any 12 consecutive months.
These hours represent Flying Hours. And also represents cabin crew not just pilots.
I belive what you are refering to is Cumulative DUTY HOUR LIMITS where
you can do 1880 hours in any 12 consecutive months.
Dont forget flying hours covers time off blocks (pushback) to time on blocks.
Duty hours covers the above plus check in's, pre flight brief, de briefes, home standbys, airport standbys, training days ect.
