It wasn't empty, just no passengers and lots of money making cargo

Today I came across an article about LH's COVID cargo ops which had this photo of cargo in seats. Did UA do anything like this?

So, here’s a weird one. I flew EWR-CDG on July 1. The plane had done a FRA-ATL and v.v. before doing FRA-EWR to become my flight.

For reference;
FRA-ATL is a freight-only route that is running since fall 2020.

Flight number of 27xx or 28xx are a strong indication

For a list each month see unitedcargo.com then Widebody Schedule, such as July 2021

Code:
FRA ATL UA 2800 11:35 15:25 787 4 Effective only on July 1
ATL FRA UA 2803 18:55  9:35 787 4 Effective only on July 1

That flight seems to be no longer running. I heard last month United dropped the all cargo flights after July 1,

The widebody schedule on unitedcargo.com used to show which flights were cargo only in the notes column. The schedule does indeed now show no cargo only flights.
