You are doing a good job of trying to divert the topic away from the 787 delays, but everyone can see the childish maneuvers are not working.
The A380 is flying, has great passenger appeal, and great reliability, all the problems people like yourself flagged have all proved unfounded. This cannot be said about the 747-8 which also should be flying by now.
The 787 has not flown, and will be the most delayed commercial aircraft that I can remember, another wonderful Boeing 787 achievement.
