i am here at work and me and the instructors are having a debate. They were telling me that the flight attendent rest area in up inside of the horizontal stab. They told me that you have to climb a spirrel stair case to get to it, but I told them that I doubt that is the case. Does anyone have the correct answer?-Steve

Your boys are wrong. The business section is on the upper deck.....

Now, perhaps your boys are thinking of the newer 777's, or the
747-8, which has the crew rest area in the space above the passenger cabin?

Something like this: This one is for the pilots, but, it gives you an idea

From Boeing 747-400 information website: "An optional cabin crew rest area uses space in the rear of the fuselage above the aft lavatories. This area, which can be configured for eight bunks and two seats, provides privacy as well as comfort for off-duty flight attendants. By relocating the crew rest to this area, 10 more profit-making seats are available on the main deck of the airplane."

The horizontal stab is outside of the pressure vessel. Not a very good place to rest I don't think (sarcasm). The 747s and some other wide bodies carry fuel in the horizontal stab though. The spiral stair is in the front. It accesses the cockpit and upper deck.

Is this what your Instructors were talking about?
