I did that too on my RV-7! In addition to a max 100lbs in the baggage compartment, I can put 200lbs in the right seat space!

Surpised the FAA did not say the employees who have to ride in the cabin also have to do the safety announcements – although they could leave out the bit about the life-jacket (bright yellow, useful for the ID of body parts) being under the seat.
Reminds me of the QC 727’s of the early 70’s. Slide out the seats and slide in containers.
It’s gonna be a while before these airplanes will have paying passengers on board. Instead, keep them flying with paying boxes instead of paying passengers. It could lead to a new shift toward flying cargo rather than passengers for many carriers.
Should be interesting to see how these airplanes will be loaded without cargo doors, without containers, and full interiors sans seats. Should add some interesting load planner duties in figuring out weight and balance issues too.
Hopefully, they paid the Canadian freight crew extra hazardous duty pay for making sure the cargo does not shift, catches fire, deal with Covid-19 issues when arriving China, other overseas destinations, and whatever changing home dynamics upon return. I wonder if the cabin freight crew are subject to flight hours/crew rest regs?
Indeed, necessity is the mother of invention.
