my flight yesterday parked up next to the A380 in sydney pretty impressive. We were in a 747 and it looked small by comparison.

One of the stewardess on my flight says the staff got to volunteer to work ok it, but few of the experienced staff took them up. Apparently they had to agree to stay on the Mel to LA route for 2 years, it's longer working hours and for the folks on the higher end of the pay scale it meant a cut in money.
