My idea of a dream pilot!

To be fair I am shite at making coffee so I leave it to someone else, for your own good of course

donpizmeov

SI,

There is nothing you have said that is worth refuting. I explained the "why" of the FCIs. The wording is still the same as its always been. Nothing has changed. If you were on the fleet (or got bored and read the OMA) you would know that. I am very sorry that you feel so upset about these FCIs. Time for a holiday perhaps?
Why was the fantastic 777 pilot rest not used? Why was it moved down the back? 18" of floor space and 600lbs of weight if I remember correctly. The 380 CRC is just as crap as all the others that are down the back.

I suggest you take a bex, have a cuppa tea and have a little lie down.

Rumor has it that some new 777s will be arriving with the pilot bunks in the front. Apparently an airline dropped a large order so EK will take those airplanes, and it was too expensive to move the bunks to the back (since the airplanes are already with the original config).

Anyone believes that? facts? bs?

Merry Xmas

It would be nice if its true Capt F.

How does someone push the keyboard, with the LAV door open (in full sight of about 25 pax) and then gain access to the flight-deck and still somehow keep it secret how you LOCK the Lav door?


Err, you use your foot to prop the lav door open while using your body to shield the keypad from view..? Not that hard... They all know how to lock/unlock the door, it's not actually a huge secret. Again, if you work smart, it's possible to do. But they still know you are locking it, could easily work it out, so a bit of a waste really. Guess it's just to stop anyone 'hiding' in there...

IMHO I'd rather have a nice open space which allows me a good view of someone trying to sneak up on me rather than a curtain that blocks any view of the fwd area... unless of course you mean curtains fwd of the first row of seats and not at the bottom of the stairs.

not quite sure what you mean by the 'large expanse fwd lower', since that pretty much stays there as it's the door crossover for evacuation path. Whether there's a CRC or not there's always going to be a wide crossover between ML1 and MR1 is there not?

If you look at the diagram here, it appears none of the first 3 operators have any galleys at the front, (upper or lower deck) it's not just an EK thing
Double luxury - how the airlines are configuring their A380s

At least EK have the CSA who is usually somewhere around the top of the stairs, the others would have crew mostly in the galley or cabins

donpizmeov

SI,

I don't think I have been contradictory at all. I did state the CRC was as crap as any other down the back of the aircraft and explained the FCI. The rest of your post are quotes from others.

That Bex didn't seem to help much

SITTINGIDLY vs EX 380 and THE DON

Hi, my name is Rodney. I live a long way from the Middle East and have no affiliation with Emirates at all except for one flight with them once that didn't really impress me.

I am bit of a scholar, I am articulate and I think as a wordsmith. I have no first hand knowledge of Emirate's inflight defecation policy nor of said changes to said policy.

But as an independent viewer, and just taking the arguments of these three fellows on face value, I can tell you I would prefer to poo with 380 and Don any day. Sitting idly can just sit idly all on his own.

From a cubicle near you.

No one has defended anything. We were just explaining that your toilet outrage was just a few years too late, AS NOTHING HAS CHANGED. Your paranoia did the rest.

The Don

donpizmeov

So its paranoia and lack of reading comprehension. Explains why the Bex didn't work.
Now be a good chap and please show where I have defended anything here? Please don't quote what others have written again and try attributing it to me as you did before.

Sorry pal, I have not deleted any posts from this thread. Unlike your efforts when it comes to investing in gold or silver, or when talking about the good old U S of A. In fact it is good to see you have not edited the last few posts here, However you did in the one on new years eve when having a go at me...intestinal problem perhaps? If you check, your "quotes" are actually from other posters, and these are still showing here, unlike some of your fine words.
It was a very sad day when you left the airbus fold. Really...I mean it.

the Don

Sorry for the thread drift fellas.

This is funny, really it is...

Mr Sitting, your post #49 appears to attribute the first two quotes to Mr Don, they were however made by a Mr ex380 in his post # 25. Its ok, no need to thank me...just move on.
