Who will compete in the large jet market .Airbus can not surely become a monopoly, or can it? I know the both made the same mistake with quad jets. But the 747-8 (and 400) will probably keep the freight market interested and she may yet live longer than expected. But the A380 will go under. Although I agree about the A350 from what I have read that it's better plane than the 787. seems sad but due to mismanagement, Boeing has gone to pot...I hope that I'm completely wrong, except for my 747 8F prediction.
