Hi
Couldn't agree more with the last two posts.
I did 100 hrs last month of which 60 where out of base (not that I requested it). Those that choose to blow 10000 euro gross in one month are simply naive in my opinion. Course every month isn't like this, but generally I do nearly 800 hrs a year just like every other FO in my base, and as has been mentioned above, simply divide by 12 and that's what you live off each month.
