1000 hours
It depends how you do the flying---
Jetstar does 4 sectors a day and short flights
Tiger will be doing long 2 sectors days & nights to PH DN etc, this gives more days off in the month( max 10 in a month then 20 days off)
But as more new a/c arrive next year this will change no dont!!
1000 hours of stick is at least 2500 duty hours or 50+ duty hours per week (if you subtract the less than generous 36 days of leave). Anyone doing this will be tired and possibly fatigued in a very short period of time. For the money on offer, there are better opportunities available right now.

If it looks like a dog and smells like a dog, then.....
