Irrelavant to the discussion here but when I read the number 370 I felt a bit unease due to the famous MH370.

As the ETOPS 370 will be used fairly marginal (we have not identified any routes that can be used) there are considerable more chances for a bad outcome on the shorter ETOPS segments. So a question - given most airlines use bi-engine aircraft for long range flights would a crash of such aircraft would impact the sector or the public will only register just as an accident and will rapidly forget?


And for the issue at hand: I have not flown on an A380 but I thought a major plus for the aircraft is the space it can and does provide to premium pax something 777 can't do while maintaining capacity.
