Bill 34, I am guessing you are in America... you have the same tone as many other american people, they choose the hate the A380, basicly because a "non" american company has dared to produce something to replace the "beloved" but now ancient 747... why do people react with such glee to possible loss of many millions of dollars and jobs just because a European aircraft has had an order cancelled?
As many people on here have said, Boeing had similar problems with launch of the 747... The A380 is a vastly superior aircraft in many ways, I have not had the pleasure to fly on it, but a good friend with many passenger hours has!
Anyway bottom line...leave the A380 alone please....
