GF crewed the DHL B757 for a few years but did not own it....
Part of the B757 deal was GF also got allocated some cargo space...
As a Gf pilot I was lucky to be often rostered to fly it Bahrain to Brussels... nightstop...and return...it was much nicer than flying GF line passenger operations...Monarch engineers maintained it... and I do not recall any mechanical delays ever....GF expansion into cargo operations ceased after they failed to crew the aircraft one summer evening ex Bahrain... and unfortunately the full load of perisable cargo...well...... perished and liquidised inside the hull...it cost a bomb to clean it all out and then fly it to the UK to re..inhibit the hull against corrosion and get it all legal to fly again....as Kathrin Tate would say..."What a f...ing mess!
