I was thinking of transferring to the 747 program, but it doesn't seem to have a large list of available destinations, and according to the Pilot Center, there aren't any routes at all for the MD-11 which I think is a little stupid. So where do MD-11 pilots here get route lists from?

Search using DVH (Delta Historic) instead of DVA in the "Find a Flight" section with the "Include Historic Flights" checked for the MD11 routes.

The B744 routes are mostly NW at the time, but DL has ATL-HNL and HNL-ATL.

You can fly any route with any aircraft you are rated for as long as the plane can make it,that it what the MD-11 pilots do

Sweet thanks Stephen.

Also, not to name names, but the person who approves flights in the 757 program rejected two of my flight reports, because they weren't real world flights and I used a fictional flight number for them. That's why I only use the Pilot Center Luigi.

No problem John. Add ATL-NRT, NRT-ATL to the list too (forgot they did that in addition to the HNL run)

Well you have to fly the flights that are in the schedule unless you get a pre-approved charter flight

Luigi is correct, ANY FLIGHT in the schedule you can fly in ANY aircraft you are rated for as long as the aircraft can make it safely. And you can't fly a route like KRSW - EGLL because it doesn't exist in the schedule, unless you get it approved before flying it.
