- Sex on a plane? Not if airline can help it
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  The carrier said it would ask passengers on the A380 to refrain from sex while ensconced in one of its 12 first-class suites, which boast the world's first airborne double beds. Clearly, the airlines want to keep their monopoly on screwing you when you fly!

  Dawn was breaking as the double-decker A380, which will carry about 100 more passengers than a 747 in most airline configurations, approached the airport from the north over the Strait of Georgia after a flight of 14 hours and 25 minutes across the Pacific from Sydney, Australia.

  The new head of Airbus pledged Tuesday to go ahead with plans for a mid-sized jet and cost reductions identified by his predecessor, who quit after a leadership struggle.

- Airbus says no 'meathook' class
  Posted by Billbar from aero-news.net
  According to no less an authority than the New York Times, Airbus has been quietly looking into the idea of offering standing room only "seats" on its largest jets, in order to squeeze out the maximum amount of passenger-carrying capacity. For their part, Airbus denies the rumor. "Our passengers and customers want more and more comfort," said Airbus spokeswoman Barbara Kracht. "We're going in the direction of more comfort, not in that direction."

  How many passengers can be squeezed into economy class? A lot more, it turns out, especially if an idea still in the early stage should catch on: standing-room-only "seats."
