A380 Crews cf. 747 crews

1.There are 22 crew on an A380.So you have 7 more crew for 60 more pax.
2.The A380 has an IFE System that works
3.The 747 crews are working with vastly inferior hard product
4.The A380 crews have not been with QF long enough to be bent over and disengaged.There are however rumblings of discontent and they are getting louder
5.Slip time in ports are generally longer for A380 crews.
6.A portion of the A380 crews(20%) are long serving 744 crews doing a 2 year stint on the dugong
If you are proud to go work on a brand new A380 with all the latest bells and whistles its bound to elevate your customer service level.
Going to work on an aging 744 or an even more ancient 767 is definitley not motivating.You are behind the 8 ball before you even open your mouth
