Actually Machaca, 200 is the total production run for all MD11 variants. The last year is as good a period as any to take and I am pretty confident that by any measure, for example hull losses per total flight hours from entry into service against any modern jet, the diva as we call her in Germany, is high on the list of accident prone jets. Rubbishing the data is most people's first reaction to something they do not believe in. I have no axe to grind. I am making no assumptions, just pointing out that as a highly trained professional your chance of crashing or being involved in a serious incident has in the past been higher with this particular jet. There are other aircraft, the meteor and starfighter would be good examples in the military, where a concerted push has improved a dismal record.
