As far as getting home, I’ve had them send me home (Business Class from Europe) on day 15 because there was nothing that I was legal to fly.
Your schedule is measured in Zulu time, so once you grasp that, you will find that you only work 16 days max.

Just call it a 17 day trip, no need to make it sound better because of the Z day. Also don't expect to be gone less than 17 days, there's still an old guard in management that run on "we don't pay people to stay at home."
Does less than 17 days happen, sure but also be ready to be flown out to random city and sit for a day, or two, or three before you actually touch an airplane. It busy, so not likely in the current environment but it can happen.

Spots are naturally very limited. Not sure if it was addressed but recall rights are not messed with. Since there is a bid out that may essentially devastate the 767 staffing, I imagine some 767 spots opening up in a backfill.
