Jack, I'm guessing you haven't spent much time down the back of an A380. This actually doesn't sound much out of the ordinary for a JFK. Lost count of how many times I stopped "sick" Pac at the door only to be overruled by purser and/or Medlink when they were clearly full of flu.
as for crew being sick... we all know the company is so very forgiving when you press 2... (only half joking before the usual suspects start on)
interestingly the first article I saw about this attributed it to bleed air/fumes but I now cannot find reference to it. Have there been fine events recently with the A380? I can't recall ever having a report lodged when I brought it up, usual response was "that's normal on engine start call us if it persists". What IS the policy? Do they even have one?
