Bathroom on A380 became unserviceable

[thepumpkin]

Interesting with all the recent A380 mechanical issues.......today not long after leaving SYD on QF7---one of the forward business class bathrooms had a "sink" issue so was locked up so passengers could not use it whilst crew seemed to be OK with using it.......so a full plane with around 70 business class passengers and 3 bathrooms.......not so bad in the middle of the night ----but getting closer to DFW---it became quite a wait to change back out of the PJs.....with some passengers getting in as we started to descend,
Everyone was good humored about it-----but it seems QF maybe a little lax with maintenance or the planes are showing their age.

Probably idiots stuffing things down there that don't fit.

At least you got away today, there have been a few 7/8 cancellations recently.

Bathrooms go out in old and new aircraft.

Yes it is just a flying hazard - can happen on any aircraft at anytime - don't we all occasionally have plumbing issues at home?

Some of us just have plumbing issues.

So, if it was a sink issue how were the crew washing their hands???

Imagine they’d have access to the galley sink which the passengers would not.
