Not just a little gap, a crack large enough for a laptop to fall through.

United ought to switch to L1011s. they had an elevator so the crew could go downstairs to the galley.

Or the Airbus 220 that has a hatch in the cockpit.

I think after the DC 10 that lost a cargo door and the cabin floor collapsed downward, vents were placed so a sudden decompression of the cargo area would not make this happen.

“Why is there a ‘crack’ into the cargo hold?”

No kidding. I’ve been flying 56 years and never once was I able to see through a ‘crack’ into the cargo hold. It’s COLD down there. Well, maybe those cracks explain why my feet are cold when I fly.

Essential for feeding the stowaways hiding in the cargo area or the wheel wells...
