Yep, I think Airbus has sold about 200 A380s and is always banging on about having commitments for more, but these never seem to mature.
I read somewhere break-even used to be around 300, but with all the program's troubles, that has soared above 500!
I'll be buggered how anyone is supposed to make money out of long haul...if the fuel isn't too expensive, the competitors aren't predatory, and the Euros aren't trying to tax you to hell, you might stand a slim chance...
