I love to hear the EK pilots slam each other's fleet types. Most of us would give an appendage to someday fly either the A380 or the 777. Both amazing "career" airplanes with fly decks far more comfortable than the one I fly. Only the pilot of the A380 could refer to a 777 as an "uncomfortable Boeing box".
Keeping in the spirit of friendly banter, the 380 is known in the hallowed 777 halls by various names...
The "gay 180" a name that is allegedly well deserved.
The "V-gina" on the basis that it's as ugly as an ugly thing, and yet comfy inside.
And of course my favourite the "crack Ho" heavens only knows why.
There are of course many many more, some making reference to the Stephen Hawkins steering device, and others to its rather bulbous ungainliness, all the names merely reflect an opinion, nothing more
