I could list my guesses, but thanks in advance for clarification....
I wrote that, so I'll clarify. I'm a SFO 777 F/O, which is one fleet seat (and actually domicile, to be completely correct) combination. Another would be ORD 737 CAP, or LAX 400 F/O. In total, we have 52 different ones (domicilies are SEA, SFO*, LAX*, DEN, ORD, DCA*, and JFK, with the fleets being 737, 320, 767*, 777 and 400).

I counted directly off our monthly bid pages, which reminds me I need to bid!

*SFO includes OAK, LAX includes BUR/ONT, DCA includes IAD/BWI
* 767 includes 757

BTW - I also still enjoy sightseeing. One of the best parts of flying!
