Sandhound's just mad because pretty much the opposite of what he states is true. Turns out the lack of freight on the 380 is a bigger factor than most considered (LAX is often mentioned) and of course, the usual Airbus penchant of over-promising, under-delivering. In this case, with regards to fuel burns. Fortunately oil prices continue to slump. So the camouflage can continue for awhile.
But I wonder why other airlines continue to cancel orders? Guess they just aren't as smart as Sir Timbit, World's Biggest 380 Fan. (He has the t-shirt).
So keep dissing the mighty 777, while it's 20 year old design continues to just quietly get the job done of making money, and they recruit "tractor drivers" onto the "flagship" because their own FO's (*cough Sandhound cough*) apparently just aren't quite up to the task...lol Of course, that's the "tractor drivers" who haven't already taken off for contract work, an option not open to the "flagship" drivers, although many sure showed up at the recruiting roadshows!
Latest rumour to get a dusting-off....747-8's. Again. You heard it here first.
oh yeah, and Ebola is bad. Bad Ebola.
