Indeed there will be.  I imagine there will be some changes at the FAA on time between inspections as well as UPS speeding up the process of retiring their remaining 26 MD-11's.
If they don't replace them, I see some pylon/attachment replacements in their future. It still amazes me how the failure of a single part can cause the loss of the aircraft, and lives and property as well.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They started two years ago retiring their MD-11's.  IIRC their goal was to have them all out of the fleet by 2027.  I believe they were waiting for the production of the new 777 Freighter which just started.

That makes sense, then. I would wager the 777 is more fuel efficient as well.

Definitely more fuel efficient...slightly smaller cargo capacity.
