The A400M ALM's 'multi-purpose workstation' is, perhaps not inappropriately, situated on the lower deck. But even better than that, it is situated in line with the 2 commercial standard unisex toilets.

I have actually been asked to locate a suitable ALM who would be interested in heading up a project team working on the A400M tactical requirements; the ideal candidate has hopefully now been identified. Ex - C-17, naturally.
The engines will be the EPI TP400-D6 with over 10 000 shp driving 8-bladed 17.5 ft diameter Ratier propellers all controlled by dual channel FADEC. And the outer part of each composite prop blade has a nickel anti-FOD guard.
And the only thing likely to slow progress on the A400M is that Airbus Toolooze are diverting all available manpower to work on the A380 Megabus.
