Jumbo floors...

..or lack of..

Had to retrieve my walky-talky from the 'bilge' a few times, My airport ID too..remember when they only clipped to you shirt? I've lost count of the number of pens I've dropped down there.

Also the pallet locks in the rear when you had to change the pallet combination... the 'ears' of the lock release would usually be gone and you had to have a pair of pliers with you to grip the remnants of the release.

The container stops and stack loading were good...fast loading with just one guy on the loader. Wayyyyyyyyy better than the shuttle bar crap on some DC10s.

Talking about DC10s, I used to open the bulk compartment door by standing on the belt loader, the height of the switch meant the loader had to be almost at door level to operate it, you then had to twist your body away as it opened. Closing it was the same but you had to remember not to hold the edge of the door!
