A380 - Would you like to work on it?



Ok, so it's left the ground, and should be coming our way late next year. Very pretty, very new, very big...

Would you actually like to work on it? More importantly, would you like to try and evacuate the thing on a wet and rainy night in Lagos? (come to think of it, would you like to try and do anything on a wet and rainy night in Lagos?)

How might the crew be divided up - cabin or deck? Should there be one chef de cabine, or one on each deck? Underfloor galleys? Lifts between floors? If anyone has more info, please post here.

Me, I like my 757/767's - God's aircraft - small enough to be manageable, to remember pax faces and needs, and to know your crew by first name. No major vices and power and brakes that get you in and out of anywhere that matters: and when they break, the gingers know how to glue them back together.
