If no matter what, they will still need to make a tech stop due to weather (ie: with all the normal pax and their bags)... than of course they are going to add cargo, because the tech stop is going to happen no matter what anyway... it is CX policy that we can't offload full-revenue pax and express cargo...
Also, I am simply trying to state their policy that's all... of course final decision always lies at the captain. It is he/she who decide what to do.
To be honest, once more 777 get online, the 747 flying transpac will be gone... so I guess we just have to wait a little longer and tech stop will be a history...
