Please do not jump to "confusions." MD-11 was designed and named well after the DC-10's troubles. MD-10 was named such, as the two-person crew airplane made possible by advanced avionics. Both were initiated and developed by the postmerger McDonnell Douglas; hence the "MD." the DC-10 was initiated by predecessor Douglas Aircraft.

In the accompanying video at 0:33 there appears to be an MD-80 with its tail visible in the new American paint scheme, which was something we had believed, confirmed by the airline, that would not happen. Does anyone know the registration or tail number, or have an actual photo of this aircraft?

"...a ground vehicle came in contact with the plane..." That's like Amtrak Media Relations who, when there is an outright train wreck, says the train "lost contact with the rail."

What's next? NOW what will Oscar Munoz say? "This place is all screwed up...I quit?"? It certainly seems to be out of control.

NOT an excuse. Couldn't the gate agent see that there were TWO people? A two-year old toddler generally does not look like a lap infant.

Exactly why retention of the A-10 is needed. You don't send a fighter to do the attack job, or vice versa.

Heavy lift (freight) and Government service are the only markets the 747 still has. UPS has probably put off the inevitable by 2-3 years.
