I would say it is a common problem with SAFA inspections on a bulk load bellyholds like 737 or non-uld 320 family. We have drawn a clear red line in bellyholds to indicate the max level but it doesnt work all the time with loaders. Loaders are sort of Mc D job and you cannot change it. Then you are receiving a finding since you are supposed to be in control. It is not practical and most of the times impossible for the flight deck to check the load themselves. The only real solution in my mind is to extend SAFA on ground operations/handlers.
