Nothing to do with a costly check;-) The Other MD-11's of MP do need this check also, some allready had one. MCY is parked because she is the oldest in the fleet and does have a different config(SR) than the other 11's. So she was the obvious choice to park due to the fact that MP cargo was 'forced' to operate with one unit less.tonjochems wrote:MCY has only about 1500 hours prior to a costly check..A simple calculation shows that it is cheaper to park the aircraft So until lease end which is Dec2012, the aircraft is parked.wingview wrote:I know it's stored, but anybody know's what's going to happen with the MCY? I just see it going from 1 hangar to another?!
