A typical roster will take a little time - I'll get on that in a day or two.
Yes, HKG based crew fly everywhere their fleet type services. Based crew fly predominantly between bases and HKG.

They usually dont stop in Milan - Usually London - Milan - Hong Kong then back via Delhi. Both these duties are approaching the 17 hour mark with 4 pilots.
F/O Roster on the 400 in LHR is 99% LHR - HKG - LHR and you will usually just get your minimum of 3 landings in 3 months! Days off are good normally arrive in HKG and travel back the next day with between 3-6 days off. Average flying is about 77 hours a month.
You will only really get a regional on your line check! Yea thats right only on your line check

Hey Capt. - would you mind PMing that roster my way too please???
Cheers Mate
Also: Would these sorts of rosters be indicative of the flying Aussie based boys and gals would see on the 'Bus? Or would they be more likely to pick up regional legs to Jap/Thai/China etc?
(May require busdriver to answer that one)

Can't PM the rosters to you - you need to send me your email address for a "regular" email. While you're at it, send me something to reassure me that your intentions are "honourable" - too many liars, lawyers and journos around (same thing really).
Representative of Aussie rosters? No.
Yes on part two of that Q.
