The ultimate issue for the nose loading is whether or not it is value for money, when perhaps 80% plus of all cargo will fit in the side door, and apart from very long loads, is much more versatile. This makes -400 conversions a serious threat to the 748F, which incidentally has not had too many or...

That's correct

Why on earth would it be illegal to show the picture of an aircraft that has been abused ? It's not good for the image and reputation of CargoB, agreed. But it's a bit like those airlines who hide their name on a crashed aircraft ... not very helpful ! To explain why these photo's are most likely i...

The 747-8 Freighter is the only large (front-loading, outsize) commercial freighter available. I beleive that the market will ultimately be fairly large, even with competion from converted, ex-passenger 747-400's. The only one??? Give the AN124 an AN225 some credit!!! :lol: The are available for ad...

To be correct the max nose-load cap of an 747F is 240cm height with a few cm to spare. The max load cap thrue side door is 300cm height with a few cm to spare. But with width limitations for the top span as the plane has a oval hull. This still makes it possible to load some quite impresive cargo 8-)

My thought:

Cargo B is quite lucky that it happend with CBA in stead of CBB. The last one just returned from its D-check. Would be the most inconvenient time to have an incident like this IMHO.

Ps: CBB was charterd for a flight but since it had to fly the route of CBA the freight got trucked to LGG.

What do those people think who they are :o Go on a wildcat strike every second month or so just because they feel something is unfair or not ok. And do not complain again this would be the only way to make management listen, this is f***ing bulls**t :evil: :twisted: :evil: Euroflyer, sorry to bring...

What is going on with 00-CBB. Just about the tenth time it is scheduled to return and still it's a no show. Any one who has more info on it?

... nobody has to work under "very hard conditions for a very low salary". There are legal minimum wages, and aviation is paying much more then this - specially for those doing the physically hard jobs. Seems to me you haven't worked in the industrie before. At AP for example we get paid ...

As an employe of AP I can tell that there has been sufficiant notification to the management about too high work presure. But after months there are still no changes made to do anything about it. The management even hired a consulting group to investigate where there are to many people. :shock: And ...
