Just out of curiosity, why do you think that just making it to the 777/747 means that you will have a schedule that would interest you? Junior is junior regardless of the category. I am junior on the 767, and my QOL is little different than that of a junior whale driver or a junior M88 guy. Reserve is reserve. Other than how the category is manned, there is little difference... It sounds more to me like you have shiny big jet syndrome...
So.. to answer your question, 777/747 typically fly multi day, long haul trips. 767ER typicly flies multi day, long haul trips (actually it is closer to the same type of trips that the 747 flies here.. just slightly shorter on the long end.. The 747 fills the gap between the 7ER and 777 in terms of length of trips) The 777 is ultra long haul, but not a super premium airplane... sorry, couldn't resist that..

hint: the 744 was only argued as "super premium," and the 777 and 330 were argued as "premium" from what I remember. I don't miss that circus.
