We all know there are MD11's sitting on the ground doing nothing due to the downturn in the industry but my previous point was that any airframe worth anything has already been 'reserved' by the big players. Mr Smith has kept his crews by dangling the carrot of a change in fleet for a long time now but even an idiot would realise that the amount of capitol required to finance a fleet change would be far beyond the means of Avient. Are they parking up an a/c given the number of crews he has supposedly laid off? Seems the wheel is continuing to turn and maybe the remaining crews should be looking elsewhere very soon before they find themselves stranded.
