SURELY NOT

I don't for one minute think there will be any steps big enough for the upper deck of A380. The upper deck would be accessed by piers/boarding gates only............I hope!

This incident is a tragic waste of life but I doubt we will never see it happen again.The same thing almost happened to me 20 years ago at Manchester Airport when a crew member jumped onto the steps in the split second she realised they were starting to move.Luckily for her all she had to face was the embarrassment of being driven around the airport stood at the top of the stairs and the mouthful of abuse from a very rude driver.The drivers Union protected him and blamed the Airline even though it was his fault and it was a regular occurance at Manchester Airport for them to never give thumbs up when the stairs are locked in place and ready for pax disembarkation. And we know what the French are like with their Unions!
