    Oh, trust me!  I was not jumping on the DC10 being a bad frame/design.  It   
   had teething issues (Cargo door), though the 747 also had issues with their   
   cargo door latches (UAL 811).  I was making a comparison between the rush to   
   blame everything on an airframe vs something that was caused by something   
   outside of Boeings control (MX, or engines.).
