anyway, i think it's not by accident that they want reduce weight... yep, maybe it's because less dry operating weight -> more load, but i really feel it's for fuel saving
less DOW and more load
does save fuel, i.e. the fuel consumed per payload. Same same, but different i hear some say....
It is the kg fuel vs. kg load where the A380 fails. You
can have a 13 ton/hour burn if you haul some 90 tons as the whale was basically designed. If it's actual state only allows 66, then it doesn't really qualify for a medal.
Maybe EK would be well advised to draw its attention away from pilots BMI and rather work on the the whales numbers.
