Superspotter, you might have a point there.
Finnair operated itīs MD-11 fleet for 20 years without accidents. They even had bit of farewell ceremony for the fleet: On last flight to Delhi, sparkling wine was served for the passengers, and they also had "Bye Bye My Dear" -postcards printed for customers. Fleet Chief spoke very highly about the plane in the news here in Finland.
Obviously some are luckier than others.
