Indeed, lots of airlines are using the regular call signs, but operating as purely freighters using passenger jets, with cargo in the belly and some have approval to load cargo on the seats too. Loading cargo on economy seats is a hugely time consuming process taking 5-6 hours to unload/offload though. As opposed to the usual 1-2 hour cargo and/or passenger turns. But worth it I guess.
