look..Nitpicker330 knows stuff all about how accountants think or post between themselves, unless of course he's a bean counter himself in some diabolicle corner of a legacy or pseudo legacy airline. Bottom line here..the 380 is working people and CX have missed their boat. The pro line is blocked for orders until 2017 FGS...and that 747/8 thing can't even cut it. Cx is doomed to reduce its brief into higher frequency, lower volume markets and sadly can't even exploit the latter. Where is it with the African market??..like nowhere!! The sandpit yields are minimal but they stay in the circus through route politics. Niche markets have never been forte but even then, Madrid, Munich, Zurich..again and Manchester should have been mainstream by now. Its a sham and the Skytrash figures, as much as they are propped up by incentives etc..are setting the trend..ie..down.
