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.

Some A330 operators use a regular J class seat for crew rest with 3 pilots operations.

That may have been for Flight Attendants only
