People are NOT where the money is 380-800. In FY 2009 the Airlines with the highest operating profit in the world were 1. FedEx and 2. UPS, both of whom do not carry people. Boxes require 0 cabin crew, 0 in flight meals, 0 Lav's and make an all around lighter aircraft and much lower operating cost. Not to mention the highest paid pilots in the world are 1. FedEx and 2. UPS.

Cargo is king

A380-800 you are starting to sound like a noob, lay off before you give yourself a bad rep.
