A380 is a costly mistake. Didn't someone far more onto it than I once say "never buy an aircraft until it has been proven commercially successful" Such a strategy proved pretty successful for several decades. Combine that with company paid analysis right at the beginning recommending that around 490 seats was commercially sensible, the recent re-configuration demonstrates a failure of accurate strategy. How many times do we have to hear that the "passengers love it" Fact is it's a financial dog for the long haul operations of Qf.
