737 is all domestic
767 is almost all domestic, unless you are JFK based, then you will be mostly international.
747 and 777 are Global. Some domestic legs, but the pattern will be mostly international.

Trip lengths vary by fleet. Could be 2 days, could be 17 days. You could have a single block, or it could be split up into 2, 3, or 4 blocks in 30 days. You could have 13 days off, or 20 days off, or anything in between.

Two things are certian. The company owes us 13 days off Minimum. We get 96 hours (4 Days) off in between trips.

There is a tremendous amount of variety in our schedules. There is a niche for everyone of our 3000 pilots to fill. Your experience will vary based upon your fleet, your pay vs. time off priorities, your base, your home, and your seniority.

This actually sounds a lot better than I was expecting. Very useful information for sure.

Very true all around and if you find your priorities can be met on another fleet your commitment is two years initially. Things change a bit as you move about different fleets and/or positions thereafter, but it's not like your stuck on a 737 for the next 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years plus like some other outfits (company longevity is a thing of course). Can't imagine not having an out or option if you will as decades slowly roll, granted it truly is in the eye of the beholder.

*Also, the variety of flying does help to mix it up depending on the fleet and seniority weighs in of course.

I’ve “heard” the Amazon flying is 7 on 7 off schedule. Is that true?

No. Not at Atlas. Again, tremendous variety in our schedules. Split lines are more common, but it isn't a set 7/7 schedule.

Random look at 767 May Bid Packs. 30 Day Primary Lines.
PDX: 3 Examples
7 Off, 13 On, 11 Off // ​16 On, 15 Off // 10 On, 7 Off, 6 On, 8 Off

CVG: 4 Examples
15 Off, 15 On, 1 Off // 5 On, 7 Off, 9 On, 10 Off // 1 Off, 8 On, 5 Off, 6 On, 11 Off // 9 Off, 6 On, 5 Off, 9 On, 2 Off

ONT:
9 Off, 6 On, 7 Off, 5 On, 3 Off // 3 Off, 6 On, 4 Of, 2 On, 4 Off, 5 On, 8 Off /// Secondary example: 9 Off, 17 SCDY, 5 Off

This is very helpful, thank you for posting what split lines actually look like at Atlas. Any chance you could do the 777 and 747 fleets as well?

Dumb question: 17 day trip length as in 17 days straight, away from home for two and a half weeks?

That sounds like a lot of fun. How are crew accommodations? In a walkable area or close to public transport?
