Seven days, hah! You're on the hook for 17 days a month. If you live in ANC, MIA or JFK and can swing it, you might get some less than a week lines. MIA especially does a bunch of down and back. But they are very up front in the interview, they run planes around the world and you should plan on being gone 17 days a month. You might be able to split that into 2 patterns. But if you're junior and end up working the later part of one month and get the first part of the next month, well you could be on the road a while. Getting home from Denver for a couple days is one thing, getting back from Hong Kong is totally different. Twenty four hours of deadheading to get home, I only want to do that once a month.

All that being said, I've only been on the road 14 days the last couple of months but I do that in one chunk.
