Japan, korea, thailand, australia, hawaii, anchorage, philipines- s. America, africa, europe, kyrgystan, supposed to have contract soon from IAD to Geneva to kabul and of course the exotic middle east. Anything is really a possibility though!
Typical bid line is 1 week on 1 off 1 on 1 off or 2 on 2 off. as a reserve pilot if you get called out you may be gone 2 - 20 days( average 10)
Dc-10 is basically same except they dont usually do the real long haul flights- the 11 has some 14- 15 hour flights to Africa and asia, where the 10 has done mostly Europe and middle east- both the 10 and 11 are about evenly mixed with cargo and passenger flights
Most likely s.o. on dc-10 although as stated their seems to be more growth on the 11 so probably 25% will be luckey enough to start or switch to 11 very soon... lots of rumors about going to a 3rd type(767) by years end..... who knows!
The md-11 basically has the latest and greatest avionics
and is interesting to fly....I love both types although there is no doubt the dc-10 is much better to hand fly - and although similar the md-11 with the much smaller tail is much less forgiving on landing! the glass is night but the bunk is the best part although it requires sharing seat time with the other fo.
