The abbreviation for Quick Change. A QC aircraft features a modular cabin interior where passenger seats are mounted on pallets that lock into tracks on the floor. This allows operators to fly passengers during the day, roll the seats out through a large cargo door, and fly freight on the same airframe at night, maximizing aircraft utilization.
Heard on the job
The night crew has two hours to strip the seats out of the QC and load the mail pallets before the curfew.
