It's typical of Pilots to defend the Aircraft they fly, a long association with a particular type builds a type of loyalty to it, I understand and completely respect that attitude.
However, the accident record of the MD11 speaks for itself, no other widebody aircraft has had such a record of crashes that can be directly linked to stability issues, this combined with it's inadequate structural redundancy has resulted in numerous catastrophic accidents.
You can deny it all you want but the facts cannot be disputed.
