It depends on the fleet you would be flying in.
You should expect something like 70 to 100 hours a month.

Hi revrav,

I did 1600 hrs as an F/O on the 777 in 34 months, prior to my command.

Once you get a command expect the hours to increase. I'm doing 90 plus every month (no augmenting). I have heard an ugly rumour that factoring is on the wish list again.

Its great if you want to build your hours 15000 and climbing fast,but,growing older faster than building hours

I am MFF on A330 + A340. I have been over 100 hours in 28 days 6 times in the last 12 months. This is allowed, as long as you fall below 100 prior to your next trip.
I am pushing 900 hrs/12 mnths every month. I get nice spacing between my longer trips, because I am always bumping up against the max.
You will fly your ass off here. (Don't know where you're a-comin' from).
Using my elec. log book program, I broke my flying into pie graphs, by type:
A332 50/50 day/night
A343 34/66 day/night
A345 25/75 day/night
All the night stuff on the 345 is off body clock by more than two hours with max differential 9 hours at the moment.
Hope this helps. If you're not divorced now, you might think about it before you come over here and it'll save you the trouble! You'll be too tired!

send an e-mail to EK asking about your application, most of the time they dont call applicants unless they need to clarify something about your application or they suspect english is not the applicants first language. they called me few weeks ago and they said someone was going to contact me to arrange days for interview. still waiting. by the way the topic was monthly hours. saludos amigo
