You know, someone on our plane yesterday had a good point re: the new Airbus. Wouldn't it suck to be stuck in the middle of that thing, waiting for 800 people to pull their bags out of the overheads and get off the plane? It takes long enough on a 737!

Good point, Greg. Lisa, send the private jet.

$20 Billion in development, over 4.2 Million man hours in development and testing. Somehow I'd think they might have come across this issue already.

Perhaps it has something to do with all the new gates they are building to accommodate the plane. It could even be as radical as having more than one exit.

You'd think. I didn't catch the whole conversation but it sounded like the guy knew a flight attendant that said she hates working on board those things because of the mass of people.

You know, after 9/11, you'd think people would want less people on each plane...

Hasn't it only just had its first test flight recently? If so, how then could a flight attendant hate to work on one? There haven't been any flight attendants working on one yet.

Hmm. Well, like I said, I didn't catch the whole conversation. Probably heard it wrong.
