Regarding the choice of the 737-600 as a cargo aircraft...How do you intend to use that aircraft as a freighter? Because there is no way to install a standard width cargo door on that type. There is not enough distance between the forward entry door and the engine to accomodate one. The only way except to bulk load tons and tons of cargo would be to install a specially-designed and likely expensive narrower door to accomodate cargo system loading of standard ULD containers, etc.

"The only way except to bulk load tons and tons of cargo would be to install a specially-designed and likely expensive narrower door to accomodate cargo system loading of standard ULD containers, etc."

Thats exactly how it works. A standard Cargo door is absolutely out of the question. We have modified Cargo Containers, along with our 737-600F fleet being specially equipped with a more narrow cargo door. Same way with the EMB-190F. They are used for small hops, where cargo can be shipped all at once, that rather with small daily hops on a Cessna 208

Our Concorde will be fitted with an even smaller door, with the same size cargo containers. It is more of a priority mail kind of aircraft. Not meant to carry much, Just the important stuff.
