I hope it has toilets on both decks!

Where did you get the pics?

They have airports at both ends of the plane and domestic flights from one end of the cabin to the other.

My brother in law has just spent two years learning to fly these suckers. I knew they’re big but I had no idea they were THAT big.

Have the planes operated commercially yet?
Impressive.

SIA is said to be the first airline who will fly them… set to debut in 2006

Looks like they’ve been to IKEA.

I like the fact that they opt not to show cattle class seats in the launch pictures.

Is there another giant passenger plane? Seems like bro in law will be flying them for CAL before 2006, so I guess I’m thinking of a different model.

I can reasonably inform you of this. Probably referring to Airbus A330 or A340.

Yeah, I’m not up on such things. I know he was a flight engineer and had the option of retraining as a pilot or getting laid off, as whatever kind of planes CAL is getting, they don’t need an engineer in the cockpit.

777 perhaps?

:smiley:

Strange…I could have sworn I posted to this thread.
Amazing…

Airbus currently has 10 orders for the A380.
Boeing 7E7 has 58 orders for thir Dreamliner.

photoshop does funny things…good thing people who know what they are talking about recognize BS when they see it…

yeah yeah, Mr big frustrate, your great 7E7 is only a dream today, except this you can’t find more details about this thing
