Look at pax A330 they are lower at the front , convert them to freighters and they need to be level , hence the bump underneath . That’s what I was told a decade ago ?

Converted 330 freighters do not get the 'bump' as it is required on factory built freighters because the nose gear attachment points are different to get the floor level on the ground for ease of moving freight. The converted freighters apparently have an electric system installed as part of the conversion because of the issue you say i.e nose down attitude on ground. |

I’m sure what the EFA wide body Pilots get paid is comparable to what the Atlas crew operating under the Qantas call signs are getting paid.

Lowest paid 330 pilots in the world I believe
|
An atlas FO second year would be on about 100k a year more
|
Tasman Cargo Airlines definitely!!
|
Yep, EFA wages are woeful.

How did Australian pilots allow bean counters and MBA retards to decimate the industry so badly?

The 'bump' is only fitted on 330's actually built as freighters & it is as you say because the passenger aircraft has a nose down attitude on ground.

What payload can the A321 freighter carry on a Melbourne-Sydney sector compared to B737 freighter?
