B747-200F upper deck seating

Good Point

Still think a certain Printer Cartridge will boost Security and Regulatory net worth this coming year - sadly.

I can't help but to think that there are some "misguided souls" out there, who for reasons all too apparent might be interested in the "upper deck seating" configuration of cargo airlines( possible or probable resistance ) , as well as which have reinforced cockpit doors or none at all. Might I suggest that we collectively keep that info close to our chests. I'm sure the long time poster who started this thread had no bad intentions, and maybe I'm a bit paranoid, but I imagine there are those who monitor these threads who may use information from our open forum against us.

Can't be serious? Yeah you are a bit paranoid.

FACT. US carrier has suicidal jumpseater who works for carrier and has access to cockpit tries to kill crew with intent crash aircraft into the companies hub. Failed.

FACT. Egyptian carrier has flying pilot overcome other crew member and crashes aircraft into ocean.

FACT. After several aircraft hijackings one particular group coordinates several hijackings on the same day with suicidal (unprecedented) intentions.

Result, you, pilots who are allowed to carry in flight, bullet proof doors, millions of.,. wait probably billions of dallars spent. What has this changed... NADA. There is still the possibility of some suicidal schmuck knocking his co-pilot out and sinking a jet full of lives.

Man you are at greater risk of getting stabbed to death by your lifepartner in your sleep than seeing a terrorist take advantage of the amount of jumpseats in a freighter to serve his goals.

Please feel free to argue my position.

The only close solution is better hazmat enforcement for shippers and bomb sniffing tech. Add's a great expence.

Been steadily going downhill ever since

Hey happy skies for you brother, it is not the same but a sunrise or sunset can still be enjoyed from the ground when that day comes.

Grounded

Good point. But where I come from, getting stabbed to death by ones life partner isn't all that uncommon.

Thanks, and I should not complain, not grounded yet, but itching to take early retirement with a golden parachute kind of retirement if such a package is offered to the TowerDog..Have a sneaky feeling it won't be.

Aye, back to topic: 747-200F, most comfortable freighter out there.
Have taken plenty of jumpseats on DC-8s, 10s and MD-11 freighters where one was offered a cold and dark jumpseat just in front of the cargo and behind the bulkhead.
Price was right of course, but handshakes and hospitality does not quite make up for good sleep and good food.
(All -200 freighters have a galley and in 99% of flights, catering)
