For any of the UPS/FedEx pilots out there:
Do your 767's, or any other aircraft, contain Class C cargo compartments, or are they all fitted with Class E?
Also, in light of the tragedy in Dubai, what precautions does UPS take regarding the loading and transport of lithium batteries? Is there anything out of the ordinary that's done, from a flight crew perspective, when compared to other DG? For example, are lithiums loaded in a specific location on the main deck or are they loaded anywhere on the aircraft?
Thanks for any information you might have. Just trying to compare notes as it relates to the carrier I work for.
Fly safe,
LC
