Nope. The bottom of the 777 is horrific. If on a month with no leave 6 trips a month is not uncommon at all although more frequently it seems to be five and a half (with a trip that carries out into the next month). Days off between trips almost always seem to be be 2 at the lower end.
Dont forget too that you’ll be joining with minimum reserve points in which you can expect the company to give you a minimum of one day off (two local nights) between trips. And for the two years or so until you catch up with everybody else with your reserve points expect that pleasure with alarming frequency. Worth bearing in mind if you’re planning to commute, although if you’re busy on reserve at least the hotel bills won’t rack up quite as much.
