To bloody right, the 380 burns 70t more between SYD and DXB and 60t more DXB and SYD. That's 130 x $1100 = $143000 more than the Boeing!!!!! That's ****e right?

Hmmm 6 extra 1st class seats at $AUD14133= $84798
34 extra J class at $AUD8373 = $284682
89 extra Y class at $AUD1858 = $165362
A total of $Aud 534842 more, less the extra fuel, so $391842 more for each full return flight SYD/DXB than that full Boeing. This is without the savings for extra villas, education, salaries, medical, larger hat size etc etc for the extra pilots/crew if we had to carry these pax in two Boeings instead of the one megabus. (Fuel price in $US but have used $AUD to keep it easy so above is worse case in case the $US strengthens before we all die).

No wonder they are going to pay megabus pilots more. It just makes sense doesn't it?
