Not sure i see your point, the risks of the 380 have been borne out, it has been in service for 3 years, and im pretty sure CX have lost as much confidence in Boeing in recient times, when were the 74-8 meant to arrive.
I figure an aircraft that has orders from only 2 airliners cant be that good even on paper otherwise why havnt other airlines jumped on it. Yet the 380 is still getting fresh orders.
