I would like to hear from any Air Asia pilots what your duty hours vs block hours are per month?

As a comparison I am a captain with Qatar on A320 and my block hours are on average 75 hours/month, but my duty hours are roughly double that at 150 hours.

As you can see this is quite inefficient, and involves long ground turnarounds, sometimes over three hours, and in the middle of the night to give the job that extra feeling of emptiness. No walk in the park (or the desert).

Just curious to hear from you guys what an average month implies.

(Someone will now be itching to claim 95 block hours/month in QR, but please, I'm talking average over the whole year.)
