Very nice vignettes - in addition to the interview with Nancy Bird Walton, after whom the first a/c is named, my favourites are episodes 7, 11 and 15.

Is that just because Airbus to Airbus is an easier/safer transition than Boeing to Airbus?

I thought it was because the pilots idendtifed for A380 ops were sent to the A330 to get Airbus experiance for a few years.

not sure what time the delivery ceremony begins but I'd assume it'll be around the same time as EK, 6pm WST or 8pm EST.
