This is a fascinating thread. I am very impressed by the standard of the report, and how little the thread has deviated.

Whilst things like not allowing self-oxidising materials in bulk on planes makes sense, I noted one posting that raised my eyebrows - that freighters don't have cabin doors to separate them from the hold. I had never considered this before, and wonder what the reason (or at least the justification) is. To me, the default would seem to be to keep the crew isolated from the cargo unless there is a particular reason for them to go back. I'd even go so far as to say that the crew compartment should be separately pressurised.

So, what am I missing?
