The last chapter being....
And then boys and girls, the Indian govt changed its mind and allowed the A380 the visit on a scheduled basis, and all the Boeing pilots whilst not living happily ever after...certainly enjoyed their rosters just a little bit more

As history does tend to repeat, I agree with you Falcon.

Hey Falcon - did you read this part
Hardly a roster destroying spectre
In India, only three airports Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore can handle A380s.

Listen boy. I does not matter what you fly. We have a job. Get paid every month on time. Our kids are in school.
Why do you carry on with this Boeing vs Airbus rant? When you are old enough you will probably have flown both types anyway.
Chill and find another hobby

A pprune with relevant and informative posts would be nice. Sick and tired of every thread ending up in childish "mine is better than yours" posts.
No wonder pilots are treated like cattle in some companies. One look from management at some of these posts and they know how to deal with us. Just like their children at home. Stick and carrot.
If there were a pprune for ie doctors do you think they would post about the lenght of the knives?

At the end of the day, there are countless people out there stressing about whether or not they will have a job next month / having to fork out thousands of dollars for ratings, to fly in tinpot companies, and here we are, with job stability, working for a good company with career progression, flying undeniably two of the worlds best commercial aircraft (and the A330/A340 aint that bad either!).
@ Don, I would edit your story to say something along the lines of; Then the A380 was born. This aeroplane could carry in two trips a few less people and less cargo than what the 773ER would carry in three, with a higher total fuel burn (26000kg/hr/2x380 vs 25800kg/hr/3x777). The bean counters realised it would be better to deploy on capacity restricted routes and could be effectively combined with the 777 on other routes to optimise the balance between schedule flexibility, capacity and demand. The A380 crews ended up flying together with the B777 crews throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East and Oceania, and the Pilots, Cabin Crew, Passengers and Company all lived happily ever after....

You must be one sad sorry individual.
FWIW, I enjoy a good windup, the really sad thing on here is that some choose to take things personally, and of course attempt to justify their indignation with a pumped up chest comment such as BOY et al....
If you can't take a joke...or accept that everyone else laughs when they hear "super" or laugh at all the name calling...then perhaps they need to lighten up a little? either way, I care not, knock your collective selves out, work yourselves into a sweaty brow..foaming at the mouth rage, I will continue to poke fun and laugh at the results

Well I guess 380, if three posts on subject followed by two responses to comments are construed as a stuck record then I would suggest there is more than a sniff of being a bit precious but Mea culpa. If my comments aren't funny then so be it, I am guilty of being a poor comedian, show me however where I have posted anything on this thread that is factually inaccurate? Or where I have called people on anything other than being a bit grumpy when presented with a few facts, rather than for instance, resorting to the rather low brow reposte of name calling, such as the previous poster?
Fact 1
EK have ordered the number of 380's it has for the express purpose of operating a considerable number to India.
Fact 2
EK have a superb commercial department who will have very little trouble filling 800 or so seats
Fact 3
EK is presently one of the safest jobs in the world, assuming you keep your nose clean.
Lastly, you guys take yourselves far TOO seriously

Some of you guys REALLY need to get a sense of humour-if you can't take falcons comments for what they are meant to be-then for goodness sake go and have a holiday or something!!! 'one do'th protest too much' !
