I doubt that they will be able to field the A380 without a technical (non-pilot) member of the Technical Flight Crew. Might even go so far as to say it might be irresponsible to do so.

Most pilots who've flown with professional F.E.'s have an abiding recollection of a much safer operation - for a myriad of unrelated reasons.
