Unless you want this thread relegated to the spotters forum then please try and have the debate using what could be termed mature argument and less of the willy waving that some of you only seem able to produce. It's pathetic reading some of the debate when it is quite obvious to anyone with an IQ with more than two digits that your knowledge of the industry and basic economics is so flawed or non-existent and the kindergarten level of argument used boils down to which side of the pond the A380 is assembled on.

Yes, many of us know how delightful it will be when LAX immigration has to handle two A380's simultaneously. They can hardly handle two B744's at the same time right now, even if they have put enough infrastructure to handle the A380. Also, those Americans who are not too embarrassed by Congressman Mica's proposals should remember that there is an awful lot of US manufactured and designed content in the A380.

A reminder that the congressman's proposal is only against federal funds being used. No one is saying that private funding can't be used but you'd think it was by some of the poorly thought out arguments by some of the more red-necked posters on this thread.
