A380

Seriously, though I understand 777 orders are full and with Airbus planning large layoff's what production line will have any excess?

Maybe old 744's or A340-300's ?[/quote]

As we don't have the so-called "big picture," no one knows what was in the minds of the higher brass when they chose this A380.
They are, certainly, saving a lot of fuel and making big bucks with the Boeings and they should continue to acquire them. Perhaps, IMHO, they should just cancel this piece of junk and go for more ERs and the 748, (just three years away). The A380 might arrive, eventually; at what cost for the company no one would know. TC and co. cannot be right all the time
