Too bad it's a brand new jet with 1980's technology. The MD-11 is a lot more advanced and automated and none have been made for 7 years!

That 744 is cleeean! I do like the MD-11 better, especially in the new World colors.

Yeah...UPS had the right design, World just put it in the right colors

Looks great. I wish we were getting them. Guess I'm stuck with my old three-holer...and the MD-11 too.

I know a guy that just came off the MD-11 at UPS. He is back on the 747 these days and liking it a lot more. He did a lot of around the world routes and did not really like the driftdown performance on the MD-11 while in the Himalayas. Apparently it is well below 29,000', so they have escape routes to keep from hitting the big piles of rocks over there. Give me 4 engines anytime.

Pilots will always find something to b!tch about.

I think the escape routes on L888 are determined more by the Chinese and what parts of there country they will allow us to fly over vs. any engine out performance penalty. They are very strict about not straying off the airway.

For all those MD11 fans: How do the rest facilities on the MD11 compare to the 747 facilities???
