[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 289663, member: 12508"] FedEx will buy them...we love them because they're cheap(like FedEx) and nobody else wants them. When we first bought the "Electric DC-10", aircraft mechanics had to jumpseat along on most flights because there were so many bugs. I think FedEx was actually the launch customer. Truth be told, their capacity and fuel burn is actually a good fit with most of our air routes. From what I've heard, we've managed to work out most of the problems. I believe most of ours that we didn't buy new came from American Airlines....I'm not so sure about the origins of the rest of the fleet. I'm sure all the American people were high-fiving each other when they unloaded those turds. The MD-11 is what happens when you try and retrofit new technology to an old airplane(the DC-10) that wasn't designed for it. I know that they've flipped one over backwards due to the stretched fuselage and some pilot error, and that there have been other issues with the plane. Seriously, they will probably show up in our fleet. The transaction,if it happens, will be very hush-hush. [/QUOTE]
