Took 12 around 1984..The foreigner course in front of me were drafted or offered system operator on the DC10. When it came to my turn I avoided it like the plague..not only halbeshiem, nor the routes but also because a mate who was following through on the stick during a landing in FŌhn conditions ran out of elevator control and thumped it down on the nose..Engineering found no fault but an engineer said that the hydraulic reservoir was too small and it wasn't a good idea if you wiggled the stick too much.
We had some unheard off industrial action with trainers resigning and even a captain taking the company to court because we didn't have the crews to integrate 12 aircraft in a fleet of 50 in such a short time with the result that some didn't have any leave in 18 months.
