SS Flyer
Talked to some of the crew on Monday nights flight at the bar, and nobody was aware of any issues about the Man flight being unpopular with EK crew, quite the reverse in fact. However they did say as a city compared with others on the 380 network Man was not as good as say Sydney or New York for example. But other than that they did not mind this route one bit (sample was culled from 3 stewardess,s and 1nr steward none of whom were UK born).
