British Airways are kind enough to actually tell us our DUTY HOURS on our rosters.
As an example on my latest roster I did a two day, six sector trip.
I reported at 10.30 Local on Tuesday, did three sectors and then night stoped in a hotel, doing a further three sectors and then cleared at 20.15 local on Wednesday.
The total time I was away was 33 hours and 45 mins.
The duty hours I did, as worked out by BA were 20 hours 45 mins.
The time that was not included in the duty hours was the time I was effectively in the hotel.
It is these duty hours, that we can do a maximum of 2000 a year. Flying hours are 900. The hours that M/F can earn the 2.40 on is far more than 2500. It is for any hours working and dose include the time in a hotel.
Having said all that, on some days they may only be doing a quick there and back so might only get 8 hours of hourly pay but on other trips they may be away for a few nights.

Reason: changed to 2000 because as cough says below that is the correct number.
