With all due respect, you do not appear to understand. An Atlas pilot's schedule from last month has -0- value in predicting their schedule next month.

Some trips at Atlas are short. Most are long. There are no fixed routes (well, very few and senior). Some layovers are short. Some layovers are long. Layovers occur on any of 5 continents. The odds of you being on the continent that you “expected” are not high. The only thing that is known is when you leave and, more or less, when you will get home. Trying to see more than that is just throwing entrails onto the ground and trying to read them.
