IMO, Boeing still has it going on, have you seen the interior design of the Airbus A380? Can we say barf? Then look at the Dreamliner's interior. Not to mention exteriors of both planes. One looks like a flying donkeycart, the other looks sleek and something of this century.

Did you Catch Seconds From Disaster the other night Jack? It featured a Console Problem with Boeings 737 Series 400 Plane, which caused alot of deaths. The Instrunment panel allowed for the Pilot to Make an error and shut down the Wrong Engine when there was trouble. 

If you get the chance, start watching that show, It's pretty good IMHO.

It's up to the airline to configure the interior of the aircraft...so you'll see a lot of variations on the A380 interior based on each individual airlines preferences.

Looks like they've both still assumed all their passengers are under 5' tall.  ::)

This is an announcement from Genetic Control:
"It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on
humanoid height."

"I hear the directors of Genetic Control have been buying all the
properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold.
It's said now that people will be shorter in height,
they can fit twice as many in the same building site.
