Wendover Productions did a great video YouTube on overnight shipping that goes into the use of old planes for shipping cargo. [1] . The short version is that cargo planes spend most of their time sitting around, usually much less time than an equivalently sized passenger plane. [1] ▶ this video

This video does a good job explaining how airline pricing works nowadays: ▶ this video Basically, from the info they get, (destination, departure date, return date, etc.) they try to guess what kind of traveler the customer is and price the ticket accordingly. E.g. if there is no weekend between departure and return, they think that you must be a business traveler so the ticket is more expensive.
