I suspect this is all total twaddle. The A380 will meet its problems, just like every new airframe/engine combination new development, and just as the 747 did. Looking back, look how the 747 encountered massive problems once in service. It drove Boeing to the brink of insolvency. It's also been the biggest moneyspinner in aviation history. Why should the 380 be any different? It will be overweight, it will overrun its budget horribly, there will be big problems once in service, but let's not forget that it will earn a massive amount of money eventually! Problems do not mean Airbus/EADS being driven under!
It's funny, if Boeing is so convinced the future is in medium haul, point to point traffic, why are they talking about a Super 747? A market that is supposed to be 'not there'? Just watch this space (the giant people mover one)! It's going to be a long term success for the next 50 years. And I'm afraid a current 40 year old design and airframe is not going to cut the mustard for the next 40 years!
If you could buy shares in this outfit, now is the time to do it!
