The idiot that wrote the quoted article (and one or two posters here) appears to believe that in future airlines will have the choice only between the A380 and the 787, and that all A320s, A330/40/50s, B737s, B777s and (for now) B747s will disappear from the market!
Even if those two types
were the only airliners available, they would not be in direct competition! Jeez...
