Tangential to the actual purpose of the thread, but that's no longer true. A330 freighter conversions began in 2017, and the first handful are already in service. As many as Airbus sold to 787 customers as stopgap solutions for that program's delays, I would expect to see a great many of those unloved widebodies filling a cargo niche between the 767 and 777.
