Posted on the “Delta to furlough” thread if I recall, man that thread is moving. Thought Delta was getting rid of their 6 or so 350s, could be totally wrong on that, but this below was interesting. Someone is thinking, good for them. I mean hell, “We went to the moooon!” Or as some say “Did we?” Prefer that we did.
“Just flew an A 350 LAX-ICN with zero pax, 17K below deck. Going back will have cargo funneled from PVG. I don’t think we’re doing it just for fun. AC pulled some seats from a few 777-300s to carry some cargo load on the main deck as well. There is some creative thinking in play around the industry.”
My United 777 bud texted me how it was phenomenal flying just cargo over the pond, door open in his dream wear. He didn’t mention any configuration changes, probably just belly freight.
