i just finished my 17 days.
ORD-NRT
NRT-BKK(DH)
BKK-DEL and DEL-ZAZ(DH)
ZAZ-RUH-DEL
DEL-HKG(DH)
HKG-ANC
ANC-ORD(DH)
most of these overnights we over 32 hours each one

Side note regarding the 747/777 schedules. Has anyone been able to start or finish up a degree program while working at atlas? specifically if your doing almost all international flying? I know a lot of people are able to do that at regionals, was curious if the schedule at atlas is more or less conducive to helping finish up an online degree program.

yes, overnights over 18h are at a “downtown” location…

in April I had a 32 hour overnight in Hiroshima. That was really cool. We stayed just a couple of blocks away from ground zero and were able to do the museum, the castle and shopping.

Hi all, what are destinations for the 767? is it mostly domestic or a mix of international? what can a JFK 767 pilot expect to fly? is it 17 on 13 off? how long are the layovers? Thanks!

JFK 767 is generally a bunch of secondary lines to fill AMC pax flying. So a mix of the asian (MSJ, OSN etc) military bases out of Seattle, or the European (HHN) ones out of BWI. There's about 2-3 primary lines that are 5-6 days on every month, but those go extremely senior.

1 a day is typical but you can see 2 legs doing stuff like ICN-PVG-ANC or HKG-ICN-ANC. Domestic peak flying like SDF-JFK-SDF exists too, but they're uncommon.

Thanks.

Just finished up a 16 Day Domestic Amazon pattern. Commercial Dead Head Day 1 and Day 16. 11 operating legs crammed into the middle 14 days. All single leg days and 3 x 32 hour rest periods.

Amazon may see a 2 leg Day, like PDX-RFD-CVG / CVG-BWI-MIA / CVG-ORD-CVG. But usually a very relaxing 2 to 5 hour block single leg day.
