Good post in support of F/E's "Old Fella".

However, I think "Fflyingdoguk" may be referring to FedEx, who I think have modified the cockpit lay-out of their DC10s, in order to make them similar to the MD11F and thereby be able to fly both types.
Having spent many years on the 747 Classic, it was quite a shock to convert to the -400 and not be whacked about the head by the F/E's check-list!
