Having spoken to a MD11 qualified pilot about these issues, he said (and that was before the LH and FedX accidents) there is one golden rule for the MD11:

Bounce = go around and try again. Period.

And they train wave-offs in the sim.

It seems that all the accidents are loss of control after a bounce.
But then again, loss of control is rapidly becoming nr1 cause for accidents, and not only on the MD11.
