It will be if Brown orders them. Also no running water 🤣. I thought Lufthansa already had a 350F. Maybe it was just a concept picture I seen.

Nah, they’re not built yet.

Fun fact, we have some guys “on loan” to Airbus apparently doing some flight testing and some of the human factors stuff. That got roundly misinterpreted as us being the launch customers.
 
I always wondered if they ever assigned FAs on any of those international repositions. Not so much the deliveries, but like the ones they send to contract MX in SIN and places like that. But I can’t imagine why and I’m sure if they do/did, it’s probably some special assignment where you have to have the right connections.

I've never had any on board unless it's positioning to or from a charter operation. Those are sometimes amusing because you are often operating in uncharted waters as far as support (catering, transportation, hotels etc) and a lot of the senior mammas that pick up the trip (because it looks like it will be pretty cool to fly to Thailand when it's not in our normal route structure) get super flustered when you actually get there and everything goes to hell as far as your "hotel" (umm... navy barracks) and "catering" (umm... not at all sure what's on that tray).

Delivery flights (especially first aircraft in a new fleet) have all kinds of random people on board and as such tend to have a full cabin crew in the back and go smoothly because the manufacturer tends to make sure the logistics are handled well.

I’ve heard rumots of interesting international charter trips, but I never see them on the bid package and they’re never on the board.
