The career choice ... again

I may be writing this a bit prematurely, but I think it's better to think ahead and be prepared for what may come

There's something to be said for doing what you love - this sounds like a question of varying degrees of how much you would love flying a 747 vs. the MD-11. You're not *sure* what level of satisfaction the 747 will bring you - could be worse, even or better. - but you do love *flying*, and that counts for quite a bit, no? Also, it's not just the job that you enjoy, but the perks you get from it - traveling the world, seeing new places, meeting new people and getting to sit in at jazz clubs, well, just about everywhere. Will these perks end or be very different based on the plane you fly? You say the schedules are awful for the 747 - how awful and in what way? how permanent is that

Yes, flying is good. It's not as though I've absolutely hated the DC-10. In fact, my hunch is that I'd like the actual flying part of the 747 better than the DC-10 overall. It's the small fleet and lack of good flying that I'm not real thrilled about
