OK. I can't find an easy way to pull out rosters from crewdirect without names attached so the following is fairly broad brush:
The Classic crews do between 6-11 day patterns with between 5-9 days off in between but there will be some reserve or available days off included in the longer breaks (say of 7 days or more). They go Europe, Dubai, nightstop, then to Hkg. A couple of local trips into China then home via Dubai again. The patterns are likely to stay at the longer end (12 days away is the max) as time goes on as they're increasing the local flying aroud Hkg as the -400 takes over the runs to Europe. Eventually it'll probably be deadhead to Hkg, fly the region for 10 days then deadhead home, but it's not the norm at the moment.
The -400 are doing similar patterns but with less days off in between and less reserve.
This may look to favour the classic in terms of days off, but it was a very different story a year ago and will be different again next year I expect. Also, the Classic boys regularly get home late and the roster isn't worth the paper it's written on except to indicate which days you'll probably be at home. The -400 is a bit more reliable.
Hope this helps

what a complete load of bollox from loopydloopy, the classic work 22 days a month with 8 off, the -400 work maybe 12-14 days a month..............you figure it out . If you want a life go -400

End of story.........................

Perhaps Sizematters can amplify whether his experience is based from personal experience of the Classic freighter, the 400 freighter or neither.
