A380
Of course only rumours but an engineer told me that as earlier posts indicate that there was some sort of overload on the electrical circuits - maybe due to to the shower system but unsure of that. Apparently the loads on the generation system are really high ( durrrr) and that may be what caused the problem.
All I know is that my wife who went over to the 380 as crew in June has yet to fly the aircraft - and from the likely delay ( I heard a month down time to sort out) she might not fly it for some time!!!..
The funny thing is that there are heaps of these things floating around singapore at the moment and we - the largest customer cant get another one to replace it!!
Also - does any one notice the irony of the 'good water - bad water' that is going on at the moment.
All this talk to save fuel by carrying less potable ( read 'bad' water) so that another jet in the fleet can carry more 'good' shower water - which seems to be the culprit behind the fault??
Bit like good weight (duty free ) versus bad weight ( such as life jackets) that carriers are moving off their jets to save gas...
