Thunderball 2,
I don't have a bad perception of the A380. You, and many others on PPRUNE, need to take a remedial reading class.
One thing I know about this industry is that if you make promises and then can't deliver people will go elsewhere to stop the bleeding (i.e. Singapore A340s). Scare the airlines bad enough with pervcieved problems on a new launch aircraft and you will see order dumping like crazy.
ps. Mrs. Focal already thinks I spend too much time traveling around to various airlines selling my wares. We always end up in a bar or two. If you really want to know who has a "poopy" view of the A380 you need to speak with baby Focal. For some reason every time his diaper is dirty he runs around holding his butt yelling "A380" "A380".
