the eba has absolutely nothing to do with the introduction of the A380, if you believe the spin and rehtoric from management on this, then i have one second hand french rifle for sale .dropped once never fired.
seriously, the A380 introduction team has absolutely no concern over the lame eba,it is totally seperate.
as for the b1 training troubles,i think you will find all the qf guys did extremely well on their exams.
