And this prediction might help my chances of catching one... seeing as the only route I run into them on is ATL-MCO, every time I have purposely scheduled to fly on one my connecting flight hits a snag.

Then again, my big Mickeyville runs start in September so I may fly on a mad-dog some day soon.

Reliability (and consequent dispatch rate) has been the big problem for the MD11 fleet. Delta has better than average reliability (or so it seems to a casual observer, I don't have inside info or actual stats). This reduces the pressure for replacing the fleet (also MD11 doesn't require etops). I'm guessing DL will be operating MD11s until 2005.</font>
