At the end of the day, you have 100hrs/mth, 800hrs/yr for the rostering boys n girls to play with, and we definately get v close to the 800/yr with my mob!!! A general months work is anywhere between 70 - 80 flyin hrs/mth (leave just about stops you bustin any limits) in s/h mainly 3 - 4 day trips, the odd !!!!ty day trip generally starting around 0-Christ hundred hours! As for quality of trips, they get better as you get senior and get what you ask for not what you're given!!! This probably means you get around 10 - 12 days off / month, mainly Mondays & Tuesdays, half of which you need to recover from being shagged out after 6 days of early (too bloody early!!) starts! Still, definately beats workin for a livin!?!
