A Cabin crew friend did a tour the other day and said "That's a big COC!" and she wouldnt doubt that new COC would see alot of Cabin Crew in the future.
I also understand the delay in opening is because Ed is not used to handling such a large COC and that to get it cleaned in time for start up they would have to have alot of COC soakers working on their hands and knees polishing that COC up.
I know Ed has been eager to show that big COC off to crew before he displays it to everyone, seems he really is proud of it.
Everyone should have a poke around, highly recommended.
