Maybe it will re-initiate a move to mixed cargo/pax combi conversions so they can haul more in the main compartments. Had a fair number of trips in a chartered DC-6C combi while in the service, including one flight where the elevator trim jammed and we had to come forward and push the freight up against the forward bulkhead. Those cargo-securing chains made so much noise you could hear them above the engines back in the pax compartment.
