They definitely work more than the average guy here. Looking at the February lines, they range from 65-80 block hours for 85-100 trips per month. Days off range from 14(reserve line) to 18 days a month.
Rigs are as follows:0.74 per duty hour, 5.0 duty period minimum, 6.5 average daily guarantee, 1.0 trips per 3 hours away from domicile. I think that is all the rigs.
In money terms, that would be about
Daily rig of 2/3 flight hour for every hour on duty (30 prior to block to 30 after block)
Minimum 5.75 hours of flight time credit per duty period, or 5.75 hours average credit for total days of the trip (a min two day trip pays 11.5 hours). Miniumum .3 hours of credit for the total hours that the trip is away from domicile (normally kicks in only on a four day trip).
