The market is deciding.
Airbus and Boeing are confident demand for their largest aircraft will improve over time, though both manufacturers concede the market segment for the A380 and the 747-8 Intercontinental is significantly weaker than for other widebody passenger offerings such as the A350, 777 and 787. ATW.
On the B777-A380 transfer numbers, it's reported that 63 transferred. That leaves how many that didn't? Grow up boys, that number was driven by company needs. A number of us elected not to accept the offer (self included) of a transition and it's highly unlikely that those that moved did so because the 'A380 is better than the B777'. Pilots change types within EK for any number of reasons, lifestyle, ego to fly a large 4 holer, destinations that suit them and to hold the type rating that best fits their exit strategy. Conversely, pilot's don't change types for lifestyle, destinations that suit them, and the same type rating proviso. The only difference really is the ego thing and that's not to say it's a bad reason to change. If flying a big 4 holer is your thing, then have no shame.
What fleet transfer is not about is the alleged marvels of a particular type.
On the Super thing, I get the prefix for a call to ground but network control…..?
"Ops, Emirates XXX Super….." keep it tidy boys.
