Question What is the MD11 in SDF system-bid code?

Ok, got a little confused here: MD11 in SDF – is the system bid code 121 or 122???

12(1) SDF or 12(2) Z - I know that Z is used primarily for 75/76 but most of MD flying is international so I thought maybe the code is 122? Or should I put both? 121 and 122?

121- The last number is for the domicile.

The only "Z" or XX2 is the 757, even though other airplanes like the MD and Bus fly international there is NO XX2 on those planes. Your choice is 121 or 125 (IE SDF or ANC).

Thanks, appreciate it, that's what I thought but then I got confused and wanted to make sure my bid was put in correctly. Then again, based on the latest much gloomier and doomier "info" here, maybe with 1 1/2 year seniority I should just hang out in ONT until I get displaced to ANC, huh?

If I do get awarded MD in SDF and then during the next displacement bid got kicked off of it, I will be able to bid back to ONT, right? (providing I can still hold it)

You're freaking me out with all this talk about displacements. After all the dominoes have fallen, do you really think that we'll get bounced out of ONT?

No. I doubt it will happen

Well, I am usually a “half-full” type of guy but I guess the message board’s gloom and doom of the last few days finally got to me.

No, I don't think we'll get displaced out of ONT, however I think that if I do get awarded MD11 out of SDF I won't be able to keep it for a very long time; it sounds like I might get bumped out of it during the second or the third displacement bid.
If so, I'll try to bid back to ONT, I'm still bidding MD11 SDF as my choice number 1 right now.

Also, I heard that any ONT junior first officers who happen to be pregnant might be displaced to ANC because of the “child friendly” environment over there. Not sure if it’s true but I read about it on a message board so I’m sure it is…

Btw. What are “dominoes”? Do they have an on/off switch? Can you plug them into the computer? What about iPod? Sounds very ancient to me.
