Airbus A380

[Gets!]

Anyone flown one of these big boys?

I will be flying from Singapore to London on one at the end of next month and am looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Have seen a couple of doco's on them, anyone been on one yet and have any experiences to share?

Apparently they are ultra smooth.

Apart from landing sideways 20% of the time, yeah

enjoy!

It is really like any other aircraft, just more bodies in it. The windows are small (even in the window seat) so you feel you are in a giant tube. Only 2 seats in a row can see outside, the rest, you feel very claustrophic.

In all honesty, it is a little overrated particularly if you are in the cheap seats.

 

[ClarkeM]

Are all you guys pilots?

 

[Schism]

Yes,yes we are.

It seems quite a few of us were.

My brother-in-law works on one and, he says it is the same as a 747, just bigger.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Unless you're a rich bastard who can afford to fly first class I imagine the experience is much like any other long haul flight.

 

[Leadfoot101]

Yes, I am a pilot, flown 744s and 743s all my working career, getting checked out on the A380, very nice airplane! Next will be the airforce F-35, very nice too











All on FSX flight sim....LOL

Working 9 to 5.30

I only get a half hour lunch, unpaid.

Should I be getting 15 min breaks as well?

I work in retail.

Previously worked for Telstra and Bank SA and got far more breaks.

Also on Wednesdays there is a meeting at 8 am, every week, which they DO NOT pay us for. This has to be a joke surely. Also on this day (today) we work from 8 to 5.30 with only a half hour lunch.

Surely they are doing the dodgy a bit?

So 2 jobs?

 

[Benno_900]

I think he meant 'flown on'.

 

[TheSaviour]

saw the a Singapore Airlines one at Heathrow the other day.

 

[weagles_fan]

I have not been in one but hope to fly one in a few years once I'm a fully qualified pilot

This is a better plane.......proven over time.
