Ah, the MD-11... Probably still one of, if not the best designed cockpit around. The automation and flight guidance is definitely kicking the pants off the Airbus WBs, I am flying right now.
If only MDD had more resources to build a better wing. Airbus could have rolled their A340 after the maiden flight straight into the museum.
Also now of some FedEx guys, who uttered their disappointment about systems and flight guidance when they did their 777 conversion. Answer of the instructor was: "yes, we know.... But at least we give you a bigger wing"
