<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Amongst the news items in this link is the fact that Delta will retire 15 MD11 aircraft in early 2003. This is a disappointment to me after an excellent, post-9/11 trip to Brazil on nearly empty DL MD11s last October. The MD11 is a much more comfortable aircraft over the 767s used now on DL's South American flights. Guess I *could* use Varig for MD11 service to Brazil...</P> <P>Regards, </P> <P>Mitchell</P> <P>Fan of DL (and RG), and Fan of MD11 on long trips, since its hard to get on a 747 anymore.</P> <P><A href="http://cbs.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7BD756B99A%2D56B3%2D4987%2DAA00%2DF5A4241E3545%7D&siteid=mktw";>http://cbs.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7BD756B99A%2D56B3%2D4987%2DAA00%2DF5A4241E3545%7D&siteid=mktw</A></P></div><br clear=all><hr>Broadband?
