Did the annonmous person in the know elude to base(s) for the MD-11 excess.....ANC or MEM or both?

Thanks
I asked that very question. Was told both bases effected. In fact, he said MD-11's in ANC will be a thing of the past in the not too distant future as 777 picks up remainder of flying and new sort facility in KIX allows for transshipments without stopping in ANC.

Asked about LAX. Told company is still trying to find a way to close it down, but too expensive to do so at this time.

He said all MD-11's will be domestic as soon as enough 777's come aboard as 777 beats MD-11 in all markets. I disputed the last remark as empty 777's are expensive at $200m/copy versus a paid for MD-11.
