Interesting. Rumour had it this was indeed one of the things that did the MD-11 in for major passenger operators. It was, of course, all fully certified by the FAA and everything, but amazingly quickly ended up as a cargo hauler, and there was a lot of asset value lost by the initial large purchasers who prematurely retired it.
