Delta have announced that they will remove the MD-11 from service from early next year. That's much sooner then people had thought. Mullen had announced he would retire all MD-11 and MD80 aircraft by 2010. This comes as they announced $326 million third quarter loss. They also said they will have to cut additional employees to the 1500 the already announced.
What happens to the MD-11 crews?? Will they be re-trained and fo onto the 777/736-300ER? which will replace the MD-11's routes?
Someone is going to pick up some superb MD-11's for a very good price. Wait for the Guv to announce it.........
