Pay on the 767 is strictly a function of how many days you're away from base, and there are many factors that go into that. I made $89k in my third year (not counting per diem), but I typically favor shorter trips and usually conflict bid training and vacations, although i did fly a few OT trips. A friend who flies OT when he can made more than $20k more than I did. Depends on your base, depends on your seniority, depends on if Scheduling blows up your trip or not. But the easy math is 4.85 hrs/credit every day you fly. Last time I checked, I think I was averaging 72 hours/credit per month. YMMV.
Also, is per diem paid for every hour you are on the trip?
I know I've seen it said before here but for review and clarity, how is reserve paid?

Perdiem and Trip Rig are paid by the hour for every hour you are away from base. On R2 (hotel reserve) it pays like a trip. On R1 (home reserve) rig time does not accrue, but you are home.

There is another way you can make rig+12 (from the third day on) per day if the overtime extention is involuntary. I had heard this almost never happens but I have already seen it once in my two months on the line so far.

Great! Thanks for all the feedback.
Next thing I want to try to wrap my head around is vacation. How much do you get? What is the process for request and approval? And how is it paid?
Also, are there any circumstances where family can ride/travel on atlas flights?

You earn 1.17 days of vacation per month your first five years of employment and 1.75 days per month after that. Vacation is bid for the following calendar year. So unless you were hired in January your 6th year vacation is 2 weeks and some fraction of a third week.

The interview invite said not to bring a logbook. Just want to make sure this is a pilot job. I'm not going to have my kidneys taken or get roasted and served for dinner, am I?
Actually in all seriousness I could use a pointer or two on this. What sort of questions will I be asked about my flight experience? Should I prep some summaries or a type/role matrix or anything?

I believe they may have removed one of the phases of the interview, but not sure, it was the resume review phase. Where the person just went top down, asking your experience. NOT in a kidney removal/roasting way. Just a standard "get to know you" way.
Just answer honestly, make sure to NOT say anything bad/negative about any previous employers or experience, and do your best to convey that you're a good fit Atlas but ALSO that Atlas is a good fit for YOU.
