Miss B - most airlines including the rat I believe schedule at least one open pallet in place of 4 LD3s (LD2s on the 763) to surf based destinations such as Hawaii or Bali to accommodate boards. Either that or use the bulk hold. The same LOCO are doing the build on JQ flights so hopefully some sense prevails.
We even managed to convince SQ to do this with a Maldives competition and randomly organised group movement with great success.
It aint rocket science and the most important thing is to load an SSR SPEQ to advise the load planners the size and weight of unusual baggage so they can preplan the configuring of the cans and pallets.
Just don't let Management anywhere near airport ops.
Best all
