Erm, have you got any facts to back this pretty big statement up?
Three year head-start, nearly 1000 orders, certain to have a popular cargo version (A350F est. 2020 minimum and probably not at all). UPS are likely to replace their 767s with 787s. Fed-Ex is committed to the 777F. Existing 747-400 freighters will certainly go 747-8F by and large. Airbus made a fundamental error by ignoring and/or botching the cargo market. My opinion.
