1. Where would an airline place the removed seats?
2. Where could you anchor the cargo without damaging the aircraft?
At least CX will have no excuse to lay off more personnel.
(Note - HAS is a CX subsidy.)

HAECO (subsidiary of Swire Group) launched series of cargo modules in cabin recently:

Maybe we can expect to see them on Cathay's birds in the future.
By the way, there are at least two CX B77Ws, 1 B773 and 1 B333 in Xiamen XMN. Let's see what will happen

In other word - in responding previous post, without installing anything but just removing seats, you can't really put boxes into the cabin.

The pallet on the upper left would be secured to the seat mounting rail once the seats are removed and the "boxes" on it will be secured with cargo nets.

that's why Airbus is offering modification to be able to carry cargo on the passenger planes deck.
