A380-800 driver,
sorry mate we were having some fun but I've got a couple of questions for you.
Whats a "warries" and how are they malicious and I'm glad you don't have any landing probs with the dugong.
What do you think about the stories about fuel leaks on ours?

Maybe now is as good a time as any to re-introduce Aussie flighties to the pprune Cabin Crew forum. The perfect place for hosties to slag off pilots and each other or even just get into a high-brow discussion of the "thickest" passenger comment or most famous celebrity ever carried.
Reading the fantasies of what certain miserable or embittered hosties wish they'd said or done to pilots gets can be amusing sometimes but does tend to get pretty boring after a while. Mods... if it's true the Aussie peanut-pushers were thrown out of the CC forum for being intolerable, even by their own kind, why should WE have to put up with them?
Thanks in advance!

Eclan & Ron & Edna Johns....
To be fair this all started when Fun Bags ( a supposed professional pilot ) made this unprovoked statement about myself...
Now,Fun Bags has made the same unsolicited & provocative type of comments in Cabin Crew threads for a long time and instead of responding in kind I made a joke out of it....then a few other guys went along with it.....
I agree with you about the peanut pushers (as you put it Eclan) that do the same as Fun Bags and instead of contributing to a debate only wish to incite trouble.....but then again I have my doubts that some Peanut Pushers are Cabin Crew at all and actually have an agenda to cause trouble.....
If you want to post a comment in a Cabin Crew thread then by all means do so but make it constructive not argumentative and inflammatory as the Peanut Pushers and Fun Bags do....
Remember that the D & G areas are as the owners put it...
Note that it say's ALL aspects of aviation.....not just flight deck crew...

Don't bother responding to lowerlobe. He's a retired flight attendant who seems to be a world expert on anything and everything.

The Green Goblin....Within that network there are various areas including...D&G
So apparently, the 'ALL ASPECTS OF AVIATION' has escaped your attention !!!!
Or do you think pilots are the only ones involved in aviation....there are no cabin crew,no engineers,no groundstaff,no admin,no ATC,no refuellers....the list goes on.
I think it's best to get back onto the topic of this thread though....

funbags,
It's time you let go of your blinkered anti cabin crew attitude.Lobey has just as much right to post here as you do or any of us.This is not just a parochial club for a few small minded egotistical pilots.You spend much of your time in cabin crew threads so you have to expect others to read and participate in other threads as well.
Lobey is right,what part of all aspects of aviation don't you get.There is a lot more to the world and of aviation than the flight deck.
Back to the thread and does anyone here know if it is possible to build another runway at Los Angeles so it can handle the new larger aircraft and do other airports in Europe have any problems with the A-380?

In the very early days of the B707 operations, they towed the aircraft out to the runway threshold before take-off because they feared the jet engines would hurl molten bitumen across the tarmac. With experience, those fears faded, just as they will with the A380. The runways in LA are already big enough. It's just that they are narrow spaced paralell runways. Everything in LA is tight. Building another runway, if it is possible, which I doubt, would just make it tighter.

When I post on CC forums, I don't profess to tell them how to run their meal service or deal with irate passengers. They are the experts there.
lower seems to want to tell pilots everything about piloting stuff. He seems to be the font of knowledge on everything aviation. Just wondering why he worked in the cabin then, and wasn't a rocket scientist or something!
Maybe he should stick to the weak black tea and lemons!

Pilots Forum
PPruNE may have started off as a pilots forum but is has since morphed into something else.
Remove all non pilots from the forum and you would be left with 50 posters staging a pissing contest.

Back Seat Driver,
Thanks for your reply and here's another question for you.Does anyone operate the A-380 into JFK?
I wasn't going to reply to fun bags but I think this needs to be said.
Originally posted by fun bags
fun bags your post shows how mendacious you are.In fact looking at your previous posts the majority are in the cabin crew threads and you are a pilot.Why is that fun bags?
You tell us everything from how to vote in OUR EBA to calling us arrogant and telling us we have no qualifications unlike pilots.It seems that your entire purpose is to provoke a fight with cabin crew and get them kicked out of PPrune by having their threads closed down.Yet at the same time you had this to say.
This contradicts your last post for a start
but let's look at a few others from fun bags.
funbags,I have not seen lobey telling you how to fly an aircraft but you don't have any problems telling cabin crew how to do their job and how to run their lives.
fun bags ,I think you should keep to your sphere of influence and let bygones be bygones.

I am not trying to get anyone kicked off. Cabin crew and anyone else aviation related are entitled to post anywhere they see fit on this site
It is, as the name suggests, a pilot network.
The arrogance of Syd based LHCC continues to astound
The "what's in it for me" factor will ensure that the EBA is voted up by a huge majority. I just pity the poor B-Scalers that have to fly with you guys and gals, on much poorer pay and conditions as a result of this EBA.
What you have to understand is that Qantas LHCC thinks themselves to be the best flight attendants in the world, and everyone else is second rate. Just look at their attitude

New Runways At LAX
LAX did in fact build another runway. 25L was completely dug up, and then moved I believe about 50 yards further south. This project was completely done before the A380 went into service. The reasoning was to provide additional wing tip clearance for all, as well as making the High Speed Exits usuable for the A340-500 without their butt or nose sticking out onto an active runway.
The North Complex has always been available to the A380. I was there the first day that one arrived. Airbus brought one over from France to test the new gates and ground movement. It landed on 24R...the most northern runway.
The article that was quoted in the original post kind of sounds like sour apples on someones part to me. But I have no real knowledge of how the LAX ATC people really feel about the A380.
Just my 2 cents.

Emirates flies into JFK with the 380.
Not sure what that has to do with the topic
Anyway I heard the A180 was pulled off the JFK route and replaced with the B777.

Not again?
