Went up to SYD on Thursday for 777 familiarity training (Qatar starts services into CBR next month).
Got the chance to look through and pushback an A380!
View up the stairs towards the flightdeck. Flightcrew rests on the right, dunny on the left.
Looking back from the flightdeck - one crew rest up & left, a second down & right of picture.
The front office. Quite roomy actually!
Looking right there's 2 jump seats (centre one can be used by a Check Captain). There's a third jump seat tucked away to the left as you enter.
Close-up of the instruments.
Midship there is a steep entrance to the Cabin crew rest below. (between the forward and aft cargo holds)
12 beds down here (6 double bunk arrangement)
Outside, preparing to push and tow from Bay 5 to Bay 9.
Looking out the back of the tug, the driver was about to reverse-push out then tow.
After reaching Bay 9, some of the activity going on around us.
Just before I pushed back QF12 for L.A.
It was definitely an interesting change from the CBR ramp, that's for sure!
