Cathay Pacific 747-200 freighters

I'm after some info on typical roster pattern for European based pilots? I have been informed that working is typically 7-10 day tours to HKG with local return trips in the middle, is this accurate?

Also - do the Classic freighters have any flight instrument upgrades, i.e FMS/FMC, EFIS fitted?

Or is it all INS navigation etc?


Many thanks

SV

All "classic" flights operate through Dubai from Europe and vv.

Patterns are 7-10 days as you said, time off at home base is about 5-6 days.

They are all fitted with the HT9100 FMCs there is no EFIS though.
