How many block hours in 2000?

[Hot Wings]

Rather than the usual "how much did you earn last year?" topic, I thought it would be interesting to find out how many block hours you did in 2000.

I'm an F/O on 744s at BA and did 768 block hours in 2000. Not too high considering that 1/3 of the 744 pilots at BA are close to the 900 hours limit (half spent horizontal!).

Please state who you fly for so that we can see which airlines are "abusing" their employees.

Lothar, are you flying short or longhaul?
Is that an average number of hours for you guys??
As you see, I did 564 hours on shorthaul for SAS, and thats pretty much average!! The reason that I´m asking, is that we are now demanding a pretty sharp payrise, since we´ve found out by using Lufthansa union payscale comparison, that we are lagging behing other european majors.. Thing is, if you guys work that much more, then I better understand the higher salary in LH.
Sorry for going off the subject....
