That is some great route variety. A few questions for those who fly the freighter routes:
- Can you get trips mixed with both pax and freight flying on the same trip (i.e., fly pax out and freight home)?
- Do pilots on the freighter flights get good catering and get to stay in the same hotels as on the non-freight flights?
- Any personal preference of one type of flying vs. the other? Some pilots would prefer to have no pax/FA interaction.
- There used to be talk that EK would bring he freight flying in-house on the 747 side (i.e., order 7478Fs) instead of outsourcing to Atlas and TNT. What are the odds that would ever happen? EK has already successfully flown its own 777Fs, why not add 747-8Fs?
