Does anyone posting here really think they'll change someone else's opinion?
Not if they don't accept that the A380 is fine for a very limited niche market. It was intended as a B747 replacement with similar numbers, circa.1500, that will never happen, the B777 and A330/340 are already out there doing that job. Just over 200 firm orders at the moment. 500, (at least), to break even?
A two thirds full A380, with undoubted passenger appeal, is not economically viable and
on average that is about the best any operator can hope for whilst the B777, A330 & 340 and the B747-400 and 747-800 are out there in competition.
