[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 766568, member: 12508"] KLM flies passengers with it, which is why I made the distinction that they are the only major [I]passenger [/I]airline still using it. UPS has a handful of them, as do some other freight carriers. It was a failed design, and has the worst safety record of any Western airliner. When they first came-out, American Airlines (and others) had to have a mechanic fly along on every flight because they broke down so often. While FedEx seems to have de-bugged them, there isn't anything you can do about a design that was bad from the get-go. I'm guessing that they've slapped some restrictions on them to try and prevent more incidents. Would you want to be a jumpseat passenger on one landing in extreme wind and/or crosswind situations? Not me. [/QUOTE]
