Building on a lathe idea

[m_c]

International freight is currently screwed because of a lack of passenger flights.

Normally the freight companies buy up surplus cargo space in passenger planes, but they're mostly grounded. So they're facing the option of either flying partially loaded planes, or queuing the cargo up until they can fill a plane.
The situation's that bad, some companies are flying passenger planes cargo only, and Airbus have even approved a system for strapping cargo to passenger seats to maximise cargo load without having to modify interiors.

Yes but surely they are better flying half full with cargo than sat on the ground which will still be costing them.? . . . I think they are just pirates.!
