We are the Largest operator of the MD-11. We have more than other airline and fly it to more places throughout the world than anybody.Thus we have a lot more exposure. We fly some extrememly long and in my opinion the hardest schedule in the industry. Nobody does what we do, with the exception of our brothers/sisters at UPS.
We are also the largest operator of the MD-10 (actually the only operator I believe) which can be flown in concert with the MD-11 i.e. same type rating, but in many pilot's opinion a different Jet.
