Default MD 11 Trips

I’m sorry if this has been talked about before. What kind of trips are expected on the MD 11? I know it does domestic and international, but how much is domestic versus international? What are there typical lengths? Do international trips go junior or senior?

Out of Memphis Europe goes senior, Asia not as much. Single and double departure international lines go senior during the normal bid but you can get them as a junior guy with a secondary line. Domestic stuff goes junior. On reserve expect a lot of Portland, Oakland, LA, Montreal, Toronto, Seattle.

How does reserve work for a location that is not your base? Does the company provide DH to that location and a hotel?

If you have hotel standby then they will provide you a hotel room.

If you’re asking about reserve (I.e. hotel standby) in locations outside of base then yes, you will either be deadheaded or operate there out of base.

Reserve outside your base doesn't happens very often. You will VERY occasionally, you'll get a hotel standby built into your pairing (I once sat in a CDG hotel for a week because Management contracted OUR CDG flying to Atlas (their 747-400 were brand new and neither the crews nor airplanes were CAT III qualified)?

That can be a good deal. I started getting paid as soon as my trip left MEM, I sat in a nice hotel for 4 days and deadheaded home.
