How many trips per month and time away?

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.

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?

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