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.

ups banged one up pretty good on landing...it cost them a fortune to get it back in the air, probably more than it was worth, but it avoided the hull loss...still a perfect record..on paper...

Fedex landing "blunders" are starting to be the norm(Subic, Newark,etc,,). Im just looking at the track record. Go jump on the other guy that previously posted and made all the excuses(long trips, hard trips,, whatever).

Ok "whaledriver" , it is easy to Monday morning quarterback. Have you ever flown a 481,500 lb airplane into Subic Bay before? I have and in the weather and even on a good day when the deck is stacked against you. So "f" you and your "good old-fashioned blunder, a screw-up" quote.

[QUOTE=RedeyeAV8r;62541] 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.
Come on over to my Airline Dude...You'll go run'n with your tail between your legs when you see how and where we operate our DC-10's and 757's...Cheers
