But OK, as long as you are once again willing to make significant change to system form and/or buy alot more DH tickets.

The company doesn't want to excess MD11 and Airbus at the same time. Folks will just bid to relieve by moving over to the other. They learned that on 08-03. Besides, the MD11 is not as overmanned as people think. With DHs they can be used to cover LAX and ANC trips too. You think 727 training is expensive? MD11 training is a royal pain in the arse for the company.

DH tickets will be accepted for a time until things settle down
