Not sure what bits you mean but yes they are sprayed by hand apart from the bits like 'airbus a 380' which are decals. The mechanical lifts moving round it when its being sprayed have a couple of blokes on that spray and move.

Lack of customers? Its gunna cost less to fly from north pakistan to south pakistan in a couple of hours than it is to take a 2 day train. Due to them being able to pak so many people on the plane.
Plenty of customers on that route alone me thinks

But do they have to sit on the roof and hang out the windows, cos its not as safe.
Well if anyone was to believe this peak oil carry on, oil is only going to go up; therefore cost of fuel goes up. This might see the end of cheap air travel, which means less people, will take unnecessary plane trips to countries they really don’t need to be in. Which means fewer planes will be in the air and going by the size of this plane they are hardly going to fly it half full and at a loss now are they. If you don’t think this will happen take a look at what happened some of the airlines in the USA and the rest of the world when oil was near £70 a barrel, now think what will happen when it is £200 a barrel?
We aint going to run out of oil any time soon mate. The main problem with Oil is not that there isnt enough, it is that we dont know how to get to it. I suppose that doesnt really dissprove what you are saying, as your quite right, if there is a shortage (ie we cant get hold of any more) then there will be consequences. However in 6 years the chances are that a new way of getting to it will be thought of, and problem avoided...... For the time being that is...

I never said anything about running out of oil. It’s the end of the cheap oil that is near. For example at the preset time, all it would take is a bomb to go off in some oil refinery in SA to take it well into the 80-90, and that’s only if it takes out a few hundred thousand barrels a day, what happens if they take out a million barrels a day. It takes very little to start the price of oil going up and within the 5-6 years oil will start to become more costly to extract, which in the end all means nice high prices. Of course the price of airlines tickets is going to be the least of your problems. You will have the price of heating sky rocket (if you use oil that is, well gas is going the same way) the cost of food in the shops, the cost of products you buy in shops (take computer parts for example what is going to be used to bring them to the uk, good old planes). O and we can’t forget the price of petrol. Now you might laugh and think a few pound added to my shopping every week is not going to make me cry, but add that to all the other little price raises and you could easily add it up to another 400 a month depending on your life style of course.
Also to add to that, its not finding new ways; it all about the cost my friend.
