Thanks to all the helpful ones who say "but we do 3 crew to HKG". But in order to do a proper comparison lets have all the information shall we. For example:

How many such 3 crew long haul per month can you be rostered and are typically rostered?

How long are your layovers in HKG?

What is your minimum days off after such a trip?

Do you do "W"s (back to back long haul trips to HKG)?

What percentage of flying per month is long haul?

A typical CX based pilot will do 3 to 4 such round trips to HKG per month. A lot are on super-compact rosters which means they can do 2 round trips back to back (and seeing how tired these guys get on the second trip is, to say the least, "interesting"). Days off at home may be as little as 3 before they get the pleasure of doing it all over again and the layover between sectors is normally between 24 and 39 hours (one local night).

I can't wait to hear how many European legacy carriers roster like that!
