The 380 will take all the good 777 flts in time and with the increased T/O wt ALL on NA.
Hmmmm, if it it means taking all of LHR and MAN, I won't complain, neither with respect to NA. Having said that, realistically, how many of our present destinations are A380 capable? I realize this will increase in time, but do you SERIOUSLY believe the 380 will be doing all the plum trips? I don't, if it did, there wouldn't be an order for the numbers of 777's that there are.
The 380 will be placed on routes where its increased capacity fits the frequencies required, the 777 will supplement these offering the frequency of service outside of peak capacity requirements, MAN is a perfect case in point, as is JFK.
