I too, have several thousand hours as F/E on the 1011,with two US operators in the 1990's in both domestic and international ops and enjoyed the aircraft very much.
I dont recall oil consumption ever being a major problem and I dont recall having to use the emergency checklist, other than in the sim.
The abnormal checklist was called upon a few times, but in general a great aircraft to operate and well ahead of its time .
If I had the opportunity to fly it again I would....especially as I am currently out of work!!!
