huge plane...but you couldn't pay me enough to be a passenger on it...
840 ppl??
so you just landed from your long intercontinental flight...you're tired and just want off the plane...but wait, you're sitting in the back...you now have to wait 2 more hours just get off the damn thing

Not to mention that this is going to be the best damn plane ever, until one lands nose down, then it will be the biggest tragedy to ever hit the airline industry*, cause instead of 180 people dying 840 people will die...
Then it will get grounded and never see flight again, can you say "Titanic".
But that's probably a ways off until something like that would happen, you know when the airline mechanics start to get lax when working on the planes and stuff...
*besides 9-11

I bet it flies great...but the bigger something is, the more parts there are, the more wiring there is...
and we all know TSA security isn't any better, that's more things to sneak on board...
in other news, don't fly United anytime soon...all the unions got their pension taken away (pilots caved in and agreed to it) but the others didn't
sooooo. the pilots are now going to do a work slowdown (which means they taxi slow, do everything slow, write up and teeny weeny lil thing wrong, like cupholders and such)
and on top of that, the mechanics union and flight attendant unions are going to strike...
no if no FA's, no flights go out, and if no mechanics, if any little thing is broken, the plane is grounded...
