Fire Supression

Carbon Dioxide is ideal yes in every way does the job perfectly. You need to seal of completely the flight deck. Thats the big thing..seal off the flight deck.

Carbon Dioxide is COLD in a BIG way. Minus 70C Ice Cold.

SEAL OFF the FLIGHT DECK. Has it's own air supply. Free of gasses to see and breath.

This is a challenge mainly because it costs money.

An ejection pod for pilot exit...only answer for freighters carrying this stuff...cannot control these office nuggets who sell freight space. Most of them are clueless as to just what they are booking.

Then there is a whole bunch of less than responsible people in the third world...i.e. cash money in envelopes.

You will wait a hell of a long time for Boeing to do this..but LuftTek could easily do this themselves with EASA approval..This should be a prority of the Union you have over in Hamburg.
