Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

[milehighclub]

With 8 doors on the A350-1000, 8 bunks would mean that each CC would have their own bunk - if there are 8 crew for Project Sunrise

Bunks would be shared as it will have more than 8 crew.

The pilots crew rest is a lot more custom and not the traditional A350 pilot rest area. The normal ones are not two private, completely controllable areas. This was probably done to keep CASA happy.

N0493F330 DCT DOSEL Y59 TESAT B450 NOBAR A579 JORDY DCT

TESAT is north of Lord Howe Island, A579 is approach to LAX and JORDY is in the middle of Iowa.

Err no, A579 is the route, not a waypoint, Jordy is a waypoint enroute in the YSSY FIR, TESAT is effectively overflying SYD VOR

I've heard 14?

@Quickstatus Re cabin crew. Their main function is safety, so presumably a full compliment is needed to be available 'on the floor' at all times (ie even if sitting behind a curtain)? So if there are X active positions, then maybe 1.5X total compliment, to allow 1/2 to rest at any one time? If so (IF), wonder where the non-active crew will be on take-off and landing?

On board and available not necessarily on floor. Though everyone would be on floor for takeoff and landing.

But yes I've heard up to 14 for PS which means 8 resting and 6 on the floor at non takeoff and landing phases

CASA 1CC per up to 36 pax up to 216 seat aircraft
And for wide bodies more than 216 seats 1 per floor level exit but no less than 1CC per separate passenger compartment. Overwing exits are not floor level exits

So a 737-800 should have 5 CC but there are CASA exemptions that allow 4

But that was 2004 legislation. I have not checked if there is newer legislation:

Subsection 6: cabin attendants
