For those flying it, just curious how the MD-11 is working out.

298 seats is nice but fuel burn looks a little high.

Even though im currently not playing the game (nor any other sim in the game), the MD-11 is probably not the ideal aircraft to use, considering the cost to operate and the fuel that is consumes on the same route as compare to perhaps an A330-300 and/or B777.

But i guess, everyone wants a diversified fleet and have their own choices when its comes down to fleet planning.

Yeah the 330 is a great plane but we still have a couple years here before it comes out.

Looking at fuel flow per hour per passenger, the MD11 is near the highest in fuel burn.

128.00 ----- A310-200

137.03 ----- B747-400D
153.48 ----- B767-300ER
154.78 ----- B747-200C
156.55 ----- B767-300
156.71 ----- A300-600R
172.70 ----- B767-200
172.88 ----- B747-400
174.90 ----- B747-300
183.98 ----- B747-100
191.15 ----- B747-200B
199.39 ----- MD-11
199.74 ----- 767-200ER

Anybody know what the seating capacity and fuel flow is on the A332 and A333 with most efficient engines?
