Thats a good thing, at least the ex Alitalia MD-11s arent gonna be in the deserts parted out like I thought. We did had a DC-10 coming to JFK for quite sometime. But the MD-11s will do well with the routes.

I'm going to guess although this is essentially a hybrid scheme, it ultimately becomes Cargo Italia's "full colors" for some time to come...
