[QUOTE="Oldfart, post: 3972903, member: 64407"] The DC 10/MD10 took the company to the next level. Not sure where you got that idea. Just like the 727 and 737 made the company start growing, the 10 eliminated the need to send multiple 27's or 37's to larger cities. The Z Van had issues but was one of the best vans I ever delivered out of. The turning radius, the side cargo door and walk thru bulkhead were a big benefit. The clutches were another subject. Zapmail was all on Barksdale. He was the electronic guru and just didn't realize a $75 fax machine was right around the corner. I still have a handout that came out when they finally pulled the plug and in the article, they quote Barksdale as taking the blame for the fiasco and that he offered his resignation as a result. I am sure Fred had to ok it but Barksdale was the architect. [/QUOTE]
