[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 990635, member: 12508"] I have enough business sense to see when someone (or some company) makes a stupid series of decisions. Perhaps I have more knowledge of the aircraft industry and market than you do. I'll make it simple for you. Boeing has always made a quality product, and charged accordingly. Once they bought MD, they wisely dumped the entire product line ASAP. Fred and friends bought on the cheap and then invested heavily to bring the DC10's up to MD11 standards...a dumb move. The 767 carried almost as much and burned much less fuel. It was also more reliable and easier to maintain. UPS, smart company that they are, invested heavily in 767's and 757's...way before FedEx figured it out. Now, FedEx has an entire fleet of "20 year airplanes" that were obsolete within 7 years. Really dumb. And expensive. You are welcome. [/QUOTE]
