One swallow does not a summer make!
Some numbers to back up your predictions please, the only numbers I have seen, rather than heard alluded to, are that the current order book is not even close to break even, the cost over-runs amount to billions and delayed delivery has added yet further millions to the debt side of the book. Hardly time for a party is it?! Where you see a swarm of A380 heading across the sky I see a clutch of A380 tending to mass transit needs whilst a swarm of big twins and a few fours will make up the majority.
Agree about the VC10 and B744, Queens of the sky.!
