The 777 goes to a few places pretty routinely...you can read above.
The 747 is a lot different, depending on your base. ORD and JFK are fill-in bases, that have trips everyone, starting in all the bases. A lot of their trips don't start or end in base...HSV is starting to get this way, also. MIA has lots of out and backs, with 1 night away from MIA. JFK is getting more of these also, especially if you are senior. ANC and LAX you mostly just fly the Pacific Rim. Sometimes you will come back to ANC/LAX during a pattern. PAE is mostly flying the LCF for Boeing...about 6 airports, including Taranto. You may be doing a good amount of pax flying on the 747.The company has 7 pax 747s now. The 747 does quite a bit of charter, while the 777 does almost none. The 747 has a lot of airline deadheading, and some DH on Atlas' planes.
PM me if you want with specific questions...
