EK A380 rest areas
I understand that the EK whales were ordered without crew rest areas.
Is the 380 considered an ULR operation.?
I am certain heavy crew will be carried. SO the question is how does EK satisfy the ULR crew rest requirements.
Cockpit and also Cabin please.

Some have a crew rest facility and some don't. The ones that do are used on the ULR flights. For flights where the pilots require "horizontal" rest but the cabin crew don't a first class seat is considered adequate to meet the requirements.
Hope that makes it all clear.

Last time I had an agenda, was at high school
I have no agenda. If you look at the Flight International web site you will see that the claim is that EK has no crew rest areas.
If there was any "point" to be made was perhaps that in many companies crew rest in First is considered suitable for split crew rest.
I have no whistle to blow either.

They may well have them in most of the aircraft, but if people are honest with themselves, they are not really fit for purpose. Bad design, bad location. How many ASRs does it take? Apparently not enough..

Don't know 'bout the other guys and gals on 380 but I sleep like a log in my flat bunk in the CRC. Big, thick earplugs really make the difference too
David Learmouth's lot seem to have got it wrong again! Is FI tied in with the DM by any chance?

WK,
If it was the DM rather than FI the headline would be: "Sleeping Emirates pilot sucked out of crew rest, saved from gaping buzzing door by giant earplug"

On the wireless this morning...
Some SLF was on a flight that diverted from DXB. Whilst at alternate refuelling, they got to see the CRC. There were seats, bunks and their own toilet in there.
Obviously not an EK pax

Are you for real?
Walking though a plane load of passengers what are the chances a few have influenza or some other airborne communicable disease?

They could start by putting the rest areas where they were designed to be.
