The 380 airframe life is 20 years. Can't imagine the manpower requirements trending downwards based on the 4 years of service it's seen thus far. It takes 2 engineers to transit a 747 in 90mins in my port. The equivalent 380 will use 6 engineers and the turn-around time will be 180 mins minimum. Someone smarter than me will have to do the maths
