Should it be true, then I personally find it comical how the self centred interests of one of the biggest bastions of the A380, only accelerated the eventual demise of its production. Maybe there would be more life left in the old girl if the GP7000 remained the powerplant of choice?
I don’t see anything there that doesn’t make sense, I’d go even further and suggest little Tim became a victim of believing his own special brand of BS.
