The issue is SkyCargo are in the business of moving cargo from A to B and the intricacies of what we need as crew when downroute are still alien to them in some respects.
The freighter fleet is totally isolated to the rest of the operation and operating out of DWC doesn't help either. The company seem to have acknowledged that by providing a dedicated feedback email address for the freighter fleet. If you don't pass on your concerns in some shape or form, then we stand no chance of seeing any improvement and things have got better on the freighter over time.
For me personally, avoiding EGHQ and not having to find a baby sitter when needing to leave the flight deck would in itself be utopia for me, never mind not seeing India at dark o'clock as mentioned by 777-200LR.
