I have hard all the airlines are or will be doing that in order to make use of a necessary market and use aircraft...its a good idea...
It probably makes sense to run cargo loads. It keeps the planes flying, it help keeps some jobs, and it keeps some cash coming in. Those cargo bays that normally hold luggage for passengers can now be stuffed with other cargo. The cost of jet fuel is now 75 to 92% lower than a year ago, and you've eliminated the cost of most employee's, so break even point is probably obtainable.
Like we always said, boxes dont complain.. and pay better!
