The nose-down pitch will also make it problematical to balance properly (similar to a stretched DC8). You need to throw a lot of weight in the back, just where the cumulative load limits are the most restrictive.
I guess similarly to a -63, you'd need to put a stack of pallets in the back to fly it empty?
At a tangent, have Airbus given up? Considering the 777F will carry 95-100T Europe-HKG direct.
