Thanks for the help!
Examples to random cities:
AM O&B. Dep 418a Arr 546a. Dep 740a Arr 906a.
AM O&B. Dep 318a Arr 630a. Dep 800a Arr 917a.
In both cases, you show at 218a or 318a and get back shortly after 9. Depending on where you live, that means waking up at some insane hour. You'll do this 12/13 or 15/16 times a month depending on a 4 or 5 week bid month. If you can fall asleep at 7 or 8p, then I guess it wouldn't be so bad. Good news is, you have the rest of the day at home. PM O&Bs do essentially the same thing, though they tend to get back around 11p-12a.
Every fleet has them. Although the 777 only has one PM as far as I know.
