True, but it would allow workers to use a dolly to easily and more efficiently load small pallets of larger items (compared to carrying them in by hand and trying to buckle them into a seat or something).
Maybe they could use also use the seat attachment points to somehow secure the cargo.
- jacquesm 7y agoYes, that is how it is typically done, they throw nets over segments of boxes on the floors and secure them to the seat rails.
- soult 7y agoThe German postal service is still paying for a couple of flights during the night to make sure it can guarantee E+1 delivery. They use regular passenger planes with a special set of seat covers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKORFvrttPo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKORFvrttPo
- jacquesm 7y agoThat's a super neat solution and still uses quite a bit of the capacity of the plane. Looks very stable too.
