I disagree. Regardless of days worked 105 hours a month will shorten your life and cripple your family time or social life.
4 long trips or 12 night turns - one allows plenty of days off but I can assure you the fatigue hits you just as hard as all those short sectors.
I can only assume the happy with 105 hour guy is brand new, maybe less than 4 months in the company, and we'll see him asking about Ryanair basing options within a year.
