As a CFI?
At a moderate part 61 in florida and a busy part 141 school in new jersey I averaged around 50 hours per month over a 10 month period.
At an academy style part 141 school in new mexico with career students I averaged 83 hours per month over a 11.5 month time period. Some months I flew 50 hours, one month I flew 130.
As a regional pilot?
Totally runs the gamut. Could be as little as zero hours if you are never called either on reserve or long call (line position), to 95+ hours in one month, but can't exceed 100 hours.
As a major airline pilot?
Can't answer that because I'm not a major pilot, but I would agree (for once!) with BT that your goal at that point is to NOT fly. Although I would think the schedules and credit lines would be pretty close to regional schedules.
