Relax it's just a joke! Too many employees on here bashing the company for years, I'm not one of them. Just having fun with the AN

Or the MD12... although I doubt it would have been a freight functional version with it being a double decker...

UPS screwed up by not developing the MD-8. Could have put the same two crew flight deck as the MD-11 and saved $$$ by having a common supply chain for avionics.

It can't be any worse of a freighter than the A380. I do like the MD12 design though.

What was the MD-8 supposed to be? A resesigned DC8?

Yep. Along the lines of the MD-10. Yes, I know Douglas made some DC-8s sans F/Es for Air Canada. The MD-8 wouldn't have had the 6 ft long F/O seat tracks to slide back and work what was left of the engineer's panel, like on the AC DC-8s.

Makes sense now, thanks for the explanation.
