NA.....don’t stare yourself blind on that friend of yours on the A340!
Those are actually the only guys getting that due to the fact of the fleet size, which are only 4 airplanes!
All the rest of us are flying our asses of!
96 hours plus on 330 is an average, as is 160 hours duty on the A320 fleet!
Everybody is reaching his limit; the sick rate has never been so high due to the accumulated fatigue!
But all of you remember!
7 Days OFF in DOHA is the absolute minimum limit, according to the QCAA!
They can give you days off in outstation when they require that for rostering purposes, but you still require a minimum of 7 days at home base!
Just check OM Part a chapter 7
Which is something more of you should do, read that bloody chapter and don’t believe rostering every time they say something is legal (or illegal in case you are the one requesting something)
In case we all would know that chapter a bit better, life would be much easier for all of us.
