Occam's Razor said:'Kay...the DC-10 and MD-10 are "different". Seems FDX has boogered-up a few DC-10's too.
NWA has boogered-up zero, while operating them for a longer period of time.
Are the differences between the aircraft (DC-10, MD-10, MD-11) enough to cause problems for crews that jump between them?
Since NWA operates them extensively at night (to Europe and Asia), I don't think FDX's backside-of-the-clock ops should result in the slanted mishap record.
Dude, I don't know what your problem with us is...but this article is mostly about design flaw and structural integrity issues. It specificly points to how minor deviations made by the pilot should not have resulted in such an outcome.
Please expand on all of our DC-10 accidents, I'm tired and can't remember any of the details.
I'm sorry if we didn't hire you, one of us boned your wife, or we lost your package.
If it makes you happy-- "Northwest has the best pilots and I could only wish to stand in their shadow some day"...better?
Oh yeah, since you're Occam's Razor, then what would Occam's Razor say about multiple gear collapses in an airframe? Most obvious answer? That's right, there is a gear problem.
