I should point out that a man who thinks progress ended with the TriStar is moaning about teething troubles on a newly introduced aircraft. Suffice to say no A380s have crashed in the Everglades, burned out on a runway killing everyone or blown a main gear tyre into the cabin.
Some people just don't change. How sad to start a thread bitching on a commonplace event on a new type.
Like the massive delays when the B744 went into service due to so many cabin configs being offered. Or the B787 which is.....late. Or Concorde which was 7 years from flight to service entry. Or the B767 which some airlines demanded with a THREE crew cockpit and was delayed as a result....
God there's NO perspective on here sometimes.
