OK! Does anybody know how many DC-10's were converted to the MD-11 cockpit configuration? I would also like to know who gave the converted airplanes the "official" new designation. Thanks
Registration?

FedEx.....great company, superb employees, integrity and decency!
FedEx is a class act - period. In case anyone wonders about agg1930's comment about there being no such thing as an MD-10, they are wrong. The MD-10 is a retrofitted DC-10 that removes the flight engineer's station and makes the aircraft a 2 pilot machine, in essence an MD-11. From Boeing's site -- The MD-10 program allows operators to retrofit DC-10s with a new, advanced- technology flight deck. Benefits of the retrofit include a two-person flight deck, weight savings, increased reliability, and commonality with the MD-11 fleet. http://boeing.com/commercial/aeromagazine/aero_02/textonly/ps02txt.html

re: Anne J.
there are a LOT of companies just like FedEx and it is not reported. It is NOT news unless it is bad news.

FedEx is a genuine American company. We toured the facility back in the late 90's (in the middle of the night) and it left a lasting impression on me of professionalism and an amazing work ethic. Somewhat low keyed but an amazing company.
