Well, I suppose the A380 is big enough for the Captain to have a bath installed...

(with apologies to all who don't have as nerdy a knowledge of THHGTTG as some of us, me included, appear to have!

On his Instagram 'A' posts a pic of four females in the uniform (+ himself of course!) under the #1 engine at PIK and captioned "... wonderful photoshoot at one of our a380s." I kid you not. One respondent asked about male uniforms. Good question but I haven't seen an answer yet.

since we have wandered into the realms of radio comedy, may I offer this quote from John Finnemore's "Cabin Pressure" series 1 episode 1:

CAROLYN: I don’t have an airline. I have one jet. You cannot put one jet in a line. If MJN is anything, it is an airdot.

Perhaps this thing is a big spoof for an investor for only big fans and use the empty aircraft for other purposes. The cc uniform gloves might imply that….

" is it real"..... II have my doubts about what the video posted on X/twitter a couple of days ago is showing. It implies it was taken from the Global A380 taxying in at PIK but looks to me to be much lower... someone else suggested it was from a biz jet. Perhaps someone who has taken pictures from an A380 on the ground can comment.

That taxi video is 100% not from an A380, the viewpoint is below the top of the fence, the doors on the main deck of an A380 are 5m above ground! Wouldn't surprise me if it's filmed from a vehicle given the lack of any enthusiasm on display from the crowd.

I watched the arrival on livestream and I don't recall it taxiing along that taxiway or, indeed, anywhere near where those spectators are!
