I think what he's trying to say is that the 90 - 92 hours you'll do here is a "little" more taxing because of the nature of the flights. You can end up doing a SFO, 2 days off followed by a HKG followed by a 12 hour rest to do a midnight Indian trip (in the monsoon).

There is just no way one can recover from this sort of flying, it really takes it out of you. Recovery starts when you try and go on leave and get no days off before your leave. You get home and then fall sick because you're body is not use to relaxing. After your leave, no days off after, you're back into the sausage machine.....

Consider carefully
