Hi!

q100: I hear you saying that many of the hull losses on the MD-11 were totaly crew error, and nothing was wrong with the plane?

My info is based on accidents per 100,000 flight hours. The info counted EVERY crash by EVERY airframe, per 100,000 hours. Do you not think that MANY 737/747/-320/MD accidents were also caused by 100% crew error, and had nothing to do with the plane?

It was an apples-to-apples comparison, and the MD-11 is 7x more likely to crash than any other large, commercial airframe out there flying today.
