I got a good look at a Fedex MD10 today and I have some questions.
- Since the cockpit is now digital and similar to the MD11, are pilots cross-qualified on both or do they have dedicated pilots to each type?
- How many MD10s does Fedex operate?
- Do the MD10s fly international flights (i.e., Europe and Asia from the US) or do they mainly fly domestic US?
- Are they maintenance-intensive due to their age? How much longer will Fedex likely operate them?
- I have heard the MD11 can be challenging to fly. Does the MD10 have better flight characteristics - is it easy/fun to fly?
