1000 FAR block hours per year. That includes time from when the CA pushes the power levers up after push to setting the brake when you arrive (push time is not counted toward FAR block, at least here it is not).
Most months I try and fly around ~50-60 hours per month, but credit 90-100. In a given year one could credit 1200+ hours but only fly 1/2 that (or less if they have luck on their side and learn to work the system).
And yes, I agree this thread is tacky. Comparing straight pay stubs doesn't do much justice. Different people bid for different things, at different times in the year, or at least I do.
