MD11 Hong Kong Domicile
Paul Cassel's letter just came out mentioning the possibility of a MD Hong Kong domicile. This base will be so junior in both seats. Talk about the company NOT wanting to crash any more MD's. This can NOT be good. Do you really think they care, or is it about $$$$?

Not on the MD11 they didn't, and it is not as forgiving as other jets. It's got different landing characteristics and a "bounce on landing" could be the end all. Couple that with a junior crew and the results could be catastrophic.

Oh, I'm sorry. 25 years with the company and 10 years as Capt on the MD-11 does make me incompetent. I knew a lot about the crew and they were both excellent pilots with excellent flying skills. Stick to the facts and consider someone with less experience and limited time on the jet going to HKG.

Mom Note:
I read the first post several times and still not sure about the relationship between a Hong Kong domicile and the unusual characteristics of the MD-11. So unless the OP (that would be you, jetkid) can rationally explain this rather tenuous relationship, I will not hesitate to close this thread.
And please do not call people names on the forums. It is a violation of the TOS and will get you reminders/infractions, enough of which will cause a severe restriction in your ability to participate here. Flamebait or what appears to be flamebait is not nice either.
