Current Airbus philosophy is that any c/b which trips after taxying shall not be reset..... The a/c systems are sufficiently reliable and have sufficient redundancy to remove any need for 'critical' c/b reset - unless its crew-initiated trip-and-reset to re-boot certain avionic items.

A400M is being designed with the 'lower deck' very much in mind. Plus DASS, advanced cargo handling and every other item resulting from lessons learned in recent conflicts.

So it's up to the customer to convince his bean counters that what is available is essential.

Oink oink, flap flap......
