[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 766417, member: 12508"] I'm sure he's one smart guy, just like the fellow who created the shape of the MD11 wing. According to him, MD-Douglas was very upfront with customers that the stability of the aircraft would be compromised in return for increased fuel efficiency. The airlines didn't think that it would be that big of a deal. Obviously, they were wrong. The only major passenger airline still operating the MD11 is KLM. What should that tell you about the MD11? Also, you paint a picture of me as being uncaring about the loss of our 2 pilots. On the contrary, I was very upset, and their unnecessary deaths are the big reason I've objected to FedEx continuing to use the MD11. Even when it was very apparent that this was a dangerous airplane, FedEx continued to buy more of them because they were inexpensive. In addition to the 2 that actually flipped, there have been many other incidents with our MD11's. Unfortunately, I fully expect there to be more problems. It is a defective product, plain and simple.
