[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 766210, member: 12508"] My criticism was of FedEx being the world's biggest operator of a very dangerous airplane, in fact, a very unsafe airplane. The UPS plane was a 747-400F, a highly reliable and safe aircraft with an excellent safety record. It's an unsafe plane (the MD11), but FedEx loves it because they are cheap to buy. Why is that? That's because the passenger airlines realized quickly that the MD11 was an accident waiting to happen. Plus, it never lived-up to the range and efficiency claims of it's manufacturer. Our pilots didn't have to perish in the Tokyo accident, and I did pass along my condolences, including several long conversations with MD11 pilots I know very well. Guess what? They aren't that wild about the plane either, but they fly it because it's their job. It's pathetic that you don't understand any of that. [/QUOTE]
