Could you explain how I can fly for 160 hours straight?

This was credit hours (hours you're paid for) not block hours (hours you fly). It was also from a post made in 2022 when we were receiving premium pay for COVID flying. These days plan on 64-78 credit hours.

He is referencing monthly hours for pay. Some trips pay a premium because of the destination or trip length. Also, overtime pays extra for the duty day in addition to the trip pay.

Yes, and just to be clear, that post was from when the premium pay was the norm. Gone but not forgotten.

Now to hit 150 hours of credit you need to pick up a trip on days off, which is very difficult for junior pilots.

Not sure if this is the best place for this question, but here goes:

which type would be best suited for part time living in Europe? I would be splitting my time between NYC and Athens, Greece. I am looking into the 76 or 777. Any and all information would be appreciated!

Good question. It's hard to say. The 747 sees Europe as does the 777 on a regular basis. The 767 has trips that start and end in Europe so some months can be great. Others less so. So it depends on where in Europe you are and what some other factors. Also fleets, utilization and trips seem to be changing so... who knows?
