We fly three times a day with B744 and B777 to LAX from Asia. We will use the A380 to increase the capacity ond not the sequence as we have our birds often fully packed and cannot sell more tickets. A fourth flight on certain days is not possible as we cannot get additional Airport slots. So we can keep the cycles by increasing the capacity. Does that makes sense to you?
Remark from my Pilot`s soul: I do not want to fly that Bird, 550 Seat and 5 min. before pushback two PAX missing in the duty free or somewhere else. Now you have to have fast baggage handlers to locate and off load the checked in baggage. Another satiesfying portion is that You will fly the same routes most of the the time as the number of destination are not very high. For us it would be 3 routes mayorly, boaring as I like the variations in my present schedule.
