Scare stories of long, long, long turnarounds are just that at this time - scare stories. I don't remember but I'm sure people said the same of the 744 - they always do in this industry because each new development is greated by "it'll never work".
Ok - so 550 pax as opposed to 450 - but with double decker gates, remember so there are MORE entry points to the aeroplane than at present.
Sure, there will be teething problems, that is to be expected. However, as experience builds and new ground handling SOPs are developed, I expect that we will see smooth turnarounds taking place.
