Hi

Just wondering as a FO or SO on pax fleet how many trips a month do you do and what is the average amount of nights away from home. Interested for both HK and OZ based crew.

Cheers

I recently tallied up all this info from my rosters.....as there is a lot of bolleaux out there.
Admittedly I only have my rosters for the past 4yrs......but those that I do have say this:

On average: (for "trips" read, 2 sectors....ie: out and back)

SO: 2.3trips/mth (untill CCQ'd then 3.5 trips/mth)
SO: 6.2 nights away from home per month
SO: 18.5days off per month
SO: 66hrs per month

FO: 11 trips/mth
FO: 6 nights away per month
FO: 15.8days off per month
FO: 79hrs per month

**I wish my firends at Emirates could read that! Poor bu&&ers. :ooh:

Hi, just tallied up my hours after 3 years as an B777 F/O with EK. Grand total 1680 so no complaints in this household yet !. Rgds.

I assume that petitfromage in an airbus guy from his comment about being ccq'd. I have heard that the CX 777 roster is not nearly that nice. Does anybody have any details about that, just for comparison?:ok:

P.S. From my standpoint as an RJ guy, petitfromage's roster averages are a vast improvement over mine!!
