Let the old bird rest in peace. It has more than paid for itself. Time to let it become a coke can.

They retired them despite the continued outsourcing of MDs to Global Western.

And Atlas 74s do our Mem-stn runs, perhaps for a year according to the STN ramp.

Then they should have no problem giving us industry leading payrates and increased B fund, etc. etc.

Sad to see the MD-10s go. They were my favorite and I値l say this with a straight face, the MD-10-10s were my favorite to hand fly. Yeah they took forever and a day to get to altitude but they had the nicest flying characteristics of the three.

To be fair, isn稚 this retirement of the MD-10-10s partially driven by the fact there are no more landing gears available for the -10s. My understanding is that the -30 gear is different. Further complicated with the findings of the Flt. 910 accident. (MEM-FLL back in 2016?)
