What most people will not know, is that MD80, CAN load 96" pallets, along the aircraft , and you can transfer a standard wide body lower deck 96" pallet direct to the MD80 , you cannot do this with a B737! Might guzzle alot of fuel, but engines are half the price of the CFM on a 737, and the cost of buying the aircraft is also alot cheaper. You will find the aircraft being converted are mid 90's built aircraft, also younger than alot of the B737's. I think there could be a market for this aircraft?
