can't picture how can 2 crew plating food and the other 3 (ISM incl.) hovering around them 2 in the tiny space that is dr1 galley
or some service items have to be taken from dr2 to dr1 just to be plated then served, that will cause a lot of foot traffic
5 people in the already crowded galley with unhelpful cockpit crew who decides to come chat and pax crossing the galley is a disaster waiting to happen if they decide to limit JCL prep to dr1
You make very good points and I had exactly the experiences you outline above in the J galley on a short haul last night; its just too crowded. As QRC3288 has also pointed out in detail elsewhere, the 350 layout leaves a lot to be desired. I really hope CX can learn and improve instead of doubling down, particularly as it seems the 350 is going to be the backbone of the fleet going forward.
