Hi Mudfoot,

Patience will certainly NEED to be a virtue flying anywhere near any A380.

The time needed to check in, assemble at the gate(s), load all the pax, and then fly to the hub nearest your destination in the slowest airplanes in the skies, not even counting the fact that it might be behind another one, and thereby causing a doubling of the traffic departure, enroute and approach interval, and thats assuming the prior A380 doesn't have to taxi back via the parallel taxiway, which will cause another delay to your landing.

Forget it, "IF it ain't......"

Cheers, FD
