[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 289940, member: 12508"] If your MD-11's were dropping out of the sky daily, we'd probably still buy them. FedEx will be especially interested because the expensive cargo conversion has already been done, and the price will probably be right. Most of our MD-11's were originally constructed as passenger aircraft and later re-configured for cargo when the airlines figured out they were a piece of crap. They generally only fly twice a day as freighters, and UPS can't rely on their availability? Pretty scary. These things are the Yugos of the aircraft world, but Fred loves them. Making license plates out of them is probably a better idea for UPS. Frankly,I'm surprised they bought them in the first place given the MD-11's poor reputation. Isn't UPS known for doing their homework before large capital outlays for items like airplanes? [/QUOTE]
