I am new to 121 pax flying and you underestimate the fear the general public has about airplanes. I have already seen people get off the airplane for the slightest little maintenance or weather issue. You are flat out crazy to think pax carries will be automated before cargo. CRAZY.
But I get it, you have a lot of day flying and your commute is the easiest and Memphis isnt that hot in the summer. Got it.
