MD11 or DC10?
What do you guys like better, then MD11 or DC10? Trying to decide if I should transition to the MD11. MD11 is obviously new and pays much better, but the DC10 will offer a quicker command, but still less pay. Schedules are comparable.
Any handloing/comfort differences to speak of, etc???

i prefer MD100, 
I disagree significantly with Gullyone.
I gave up command to sit in the right hand seat of a modern airliner and I am VERY happy. The left hand seat is not necesssarily "the best show in the house." Perhaps status is more important to you - were you bullied at school?

I wish my only dillema in life was the choice between two widebodies.

The perceived wisdom throughout my career has been to grab a command when and however you can- within reason. There are a lot of advantages to having command time if the company fails or bad things happen. It may not be a good idea to give up a wide body for a turboprop command- hence the 'within reason' rider, but commonsense should tell you when to make a grab.

Sounds like the company has both types. If so as the 10s depart the crews would usualy go to the MD11. LH seat 10 to LH seat 11.
I see that MrBernoulli is a probably a BA 777 pilot. My previous remarks re FO or Capt would only apply to someone in the real world. I have been there.
