There is not a single Ethiopian trained on the MD-11. All those who fly them are ex-pats, most of whom english is not their native language.
Bull****, There are Local and expats on ET MD11 both captain and FOs. as in all other airlplanes in the fleet except the 777 where crews are all Ethiopians.
Local Pilots don't like the MD11 because with only two aircraft, the network is very limited and repetitive, but is the company that decides the fleet assignement.
Local Md11 pilots are anyway very professional and well trained and, no, i'm not ethiopian myself.
