i typically average 1500 credit hours a year, and I don’t kill myself doing it. I work 2 of my 4 vacation weeks, grab an occasional PAF trip and I commute

You have 4 weeks of vacation? You're senior and have great opportunities during open time because of that. Not everyone can get to the 25+ hour trips that you can.

I think 1000-1100 hours of credit per year is a much more reasonable assumption. Yes, people get 1600 a year, but it's not typical.

I’m mid level seniority in domicile credited just shy of 1200 and blocked 600.1 paf. Averaged 20 days off a bid period for the year. So yah that’s averaging 100 credit and 20 days off. It wasn’t hard and I’m not glued to flica. Right now for feb I’m sitting at 90 credit 18 off. That’s with no soft time other than rig/overs.

The guys I know that can’t average 100 hours and 18 days off are the same people who can’t connect their iPad to the ADS-B receiver. It’s not hard but you at least have to put in some effort.

so you’re averaging 7.5 hours per day before soft time? Or that’s basically three 30 hour 4 days per month with hardly any chance for over blocks at the time you wrote this. Seems like something was left out in your explanation.

Please enlighten us on how the 100 hour month credit and 18 days are accomplished? What is your seniority?

that’s correct. I’m averaging over 7 per duty period. Looks like a little over 8 soft with rig, under/overs, online training and premium. No vac, no sick, no pc/pt, no rgs.
