Looking at charter operation - it can be both, depends on your operation/sales department and how they share the info with the cockpit crews.
Sometimes they sell flights a month in advance but it will be assigned to an a/c only few days before - thats when you will know about it.
There is also always the chance for last minute charters/AOG support flights.
Coud be different with owner only operation (ie. no charter)
My current experience is to know about 2-3 days beforehand where I will be, if there is no ad-hoc flights coming in.
