I presume it will fly like any other transport category airplane but
sitting in that thing will be like sitting in a mosh pit

Well, then read those specs again and compare total floor space divided by the number of passengers for the 747 and
the 380. You'll find the passengers will have more space in the 380. And they have already confirmed that this will
show in wider seats with more distance from each other.


I did read that along with the cascino's, bars, lounges, weight
rooms, etc. When I see an airline replace revenue generating seats
with large areas for people to stand around, I'll believe it. Nothing
is free and I just don't see economy becoming business class anytime
soon.

Anyway, wrong newsgroup. My post was more about the 17000 foot runways
in their specs (not the POH of course).

Branson of Virgin wants some with twin beds and casinos. He joked that folks could get lucky twice on his planes.

I remember flying to Hawaii on a Continental (I think) DC-10 that had a lounge area with a bar and Space Invaders on
some video games. A great flight!
