I was in the room when Rod Eddington was asked. "Are we going to buy the A380". He finished by saying that if the Customer liked the A380, then BA would buy them.

How very innovative of him as BA's boss. He waits till another airline produces good customer response to the A380, THEN he puts in an order!

PS As for BA's vast fleet of Airbus machines, when Caledonian was incorporated and BA took on their Airbus fleet they didn't exactly give the flight crews much hope. A pal who flew A 320's said he didn't expect to last on them for long as BA Engineering mainly liked Boeing machines as did the top brass.
Not anti BA [mangement mainly] at all but they chop and change like the wind these days.
