Monthly Hours Breakdown

Fellow PPruners,
I have been wondering for a while how hours compare between different fleets.
Let me state from the offset that I am not attempting to cast aspersions or judge in any way but I have long been curious to know how us FJ guys compare to people on other fleets. I am guessing that we log less hours but more sorties.
For instance my average month is about 20-25 hours and that works out as about 17-22 sorties (Hawk T1 sorties tend to be about an hour - longer if you fly one with a centre line tank, ie 115/128 etc).
I am presuming that a multi engine pilot will fly substantially more hours but how does that work out in sortie numbers? I have absolutely no idea how it works for rotary guys.
I look forward to your replies but will happily request the thread be locked if it turns in to a willy waving contest!
BV
