Actually much more time off than the ME carriers. Many commuting contracts are 16 days off every 6 weeks and while working it's 4 days on and 2 days off hence about 216 days off per year. The schedules are long days but quite efficient to get 900 hours per year. Long delays and flow control are quite common and 14 hour days happen many times but you do get more time off to stay with your family if you work in China. Read post 21 above for more daily details.
