Sorry everyone. Don't get me wrong. I've worked with Boeing in the past and several of the airlines and absolutely love the fact that they're kicking the crap out of Airbus.

My point is that if you are a struggling airline, which almost all are, it is in your best interest to maximize seating capacity on the plane to generate as much revenue as you can. It does not make sense to waste that space on something as frivolous as a bar when you could fit four or five more first class seats in that space. It's a poor decision economically to waste space on an aircraft.

Besides, this is all marketing anyways. The airlines have final say on seat configuration. I was working in Australia a couple of years ago for the big airline down there and we all got a good laugh out of the A380 literature that showed a bowling alley in the plane. That most have wasted space for at least 100 or so seats.

Rad ( Radio ) I do understand your point, and it is taken well.
I still feel, that those airlines who are struggling won't order a huge capital investment just yet.
You are correct, max as much as you can.
I remember how the old 747-400 entrance is, and that was the area were they prepare food, and we have heard that they might move that area up in the loft.
I guess time will tell what the airlines will eventually use.

In the video concept of that same area, there is a bar, just not a out in the open bar, but, more like, a window that opens at the little room were the bartender is, and you have a little counter, and that's it, and opposite the bar/little room is a ??? FISH TANK ? ha ? ( yeah, I can see that when a plane is in a steep angle, and the weight of a fish thank ).
IN the video concept, the stairs are on the left side of the bar/bartender room.
