Totally agree with scaglietti. While 98 hours sounds nice, it's not a monthly occurance. Not to mention,if you keep flying like that, you will time out and then start sitting. I had a few really high hour months last year (and took all alloted vacation) and have had some months between 50 and 60 hours. It's hit and miss and you shouldn't count on averaging a 90+ hour month, it's unrealistic. When the A380 shows up, it will start taking some of the 777 routes and the talk will shift to the quality of life the 380 guys have with layovers etc. Plan on contract pay as they constantly keep messing with the bidding system.
