PJ2, with respect for your posts in general, your questions about the mobile crew rest area on the 330 has already been dealt with elsewhere in this thread. Post nr 773 and subsequently (perhaps deleted inputs) from colleagues to confirm that A330 mobile rest area come in the form of a LD6 container is normally located below deck on the hight of the 3L/R doors, aft of the wings. I thought you said somewhere you were current on the 330 ?
Dutch Bru,

Not all A330s are equipped the same. The container you are referring to is an LDMCR (Lower Deck Mobile Crew Rest), which in most carriers is used as a cabin crew rest facility. Many carriers equip the A330 with a seperate pilot crew rest bunk, often located immediately behind the cockpit opposite the forward lavatory. Some carriers, however, have placed this bunk in other locations and to my knowledge there has been no confirmation of whether AF 447 had a bunk, and if so where it was located. Being current on one carrier's aircraft won't tell you how another carrier has chosen to configure such items.
