Careful 1011

Yes the A345 Captain's bunk is better than the B777 but be careful not to fall into the carefully prepared trap. The position of the bunk has been an issue with Airbus guys, especially when the crew complement is 1 Captain and 2 F/Os. Just because it's better than the B777 rest doesn't fix the problem and you run the risk of agreeing that something less than ideal becomes the norm because of the even more woeful state of new rest facilities. This could then have a knock-on effect for future aircraft fit-outs.
