First Officers - How many hours a month do you fly?

[Crab Fat]

Just wondering how many hours a month you boys rack up. To get you started, a mate of mine:

TP F/O SE based:

Did 70 last month (60 is average).

How many stand by days? 6 for him!

This this normal?

I think you need to explain a bit more about what this has to do with Wannabes. While I decide whether to send this to 'Questions' and you think about your reply, here's a start for you:

Virgin 742 F/O. Between 45 and 90 hours/month. Most months have 5 days on standby, usually called.

About 85 hrs a month, 5 standbys, rarely called (low cost B733).

More for the Questions forum I think.

....and when does O/T kick in? Or are you paid a flat monthly, regardless?

Who do you fly for WWW ? or is that classified ??

Scroggs,

I agree a slightly inappropriate question for Wannabe's, but I thought your answer was a little high brow. No offence. Glad it is in the right place now though.

As moderator I guess you see a lot of daft stuff, but a lot of these guys are new to this field. we should all try and remember that....we all had a very limited and hazy knowledge in the past....therefore we should be encouraging, not disparaging!

As for me:

Charter 757 F/O. NW based. Line training, but expect 15 to 16 days or so in the season now, with I guess a few standby's once fully on line. 80 to 90 hours a month i reckon .

Sorry to sound defensive of the other fella earlier, but........

[spoilers yellow]

F/O LGW shorthaul fleet.

Around 70-80 hours per month, very few sbys.

[Dirk]

120++ hours per month
Average working day 6-8 sectors, 10 hours.

Hey, this is Africa !!!
