I'd say we load through the nose only about 10 percent of the time. You can't load tall pallets through the nose so you are giving up a lot of volume, it isolates the cockpit for a longer time and you need ramp space forward of the aircraft. That being said, I've seen a good crew unload from the nose while loading from the side to save turn around time.
