The seat is fantastic as I have said before, the working conditions and the service we will be able to offer is questionable.
And yes I will moan as much as I like.

Thanks teledude.

Did you note any disadvantages to the bulkhead seats with the bigger foot cubicles? Wondering if these are likely to be the most desirable seats in New Club World.

They are clearly main crew as some SCCMs can’t wait to be shot of the 747s due to the shocking reliability and cabin issues, IFE failures etc.

Looks really long, like the A340 does......looking forward to trying it out on Toronto at the back end of October!

Absolutely not, the B744 is the easiest aircraft to work on and I do not know any crew that doesn’t love it.

100% not, the B744 was designed with plenty of space to work, the other aircraft completely the opposite.

Just had a read of it and then saw it posted here. Great work but Michele ( and Paul) as ever. After the issues Friday I was glad to see she actually made it aboard although I still think they were shafted( on Fri') only getting sandwiches at Vanguard House to make up for it

I hadn't even picked up on the fact that the table comes out from underneath the IFE.

Anyone know where the A350 is now parked? I'm flying in to T5 this evening - I'll obviously be looking out for it but would be good to know where to look!
