load factors
Got any idea what type of load factors their seeing. You gotta believe if there are say 300 sob's (souls on board) the economics of the 777 or 747 would be much better. I wonder what the break even point is, of course in the real world with different landing fees, cargo on board, crew costs, etc. its not a simple equation. Just curious! When I worked with Pan Am they took delivery of their first few 747's and they published numbers that were pure fantasy until someone caught on. It sure made good press and after a while we really did see much higher load factors that made a good business case for the jumbo, and the rest as they say is history. I only hope the 380 has the same good luck and profitability.
