Skeptical as I am about Airbus products, I'm pretty well convinced that all of them have cockpits :)

Yep, I saved this in the "Planes Spotted Today" thread.  Fantastic.

Wait, so the guy on the left seat has to fly left-handed?

And by the way, if you look behind, there's cupholders.

Tom-

The guy on the left always flies left handed, the guy on the right is always flying right handed, and there are always cup holders hidden away somewhere.  Most of the actual flying is done with the tip of the index finger (working the various autoflight modes).

No toilet though.... :rolleyes:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Well as was once observed in Monty Python, it would take some of the glamour out of the job if there was a toilet in the flight deck.  That's why Su34 pilots get no respect.   ;D

But it could give you an excuse as to why your trousers where around your ankles when you're caught with the new cabin crew girl..... :thumbsup:

Oh thats an easy one to explain - You're just showing her the difference between a throttle and a joystick... :wacko: :wacko: :thumbsup:

But it does have a galley, and thus the respect is lifted, coz the pilots know how to cook!
