FedEx tried off-peak passenger carriage in the early 1980s when they received their first 737s. The seats were on pallets installed through the cargo doors.
UPS tried the same idea with 727s in the early 2000s but in both cases it proved too disruptive to normal operations.
However several European airlines today operate the inverse service with quick-changers, primarily passenger service and remove the seats at night for mail carriage.
