Aircraft are being returned, but they are all 777s. The first 380 does not go for a while yet. Meanwhile, although some 380 deliveries have been deferred, they will continue to arrive as they are all firm orders, not options. Penalties for cancellations would likely be prohibitive, and swapping to A350s may not be practical or indeed possible. I have not researched the production rate or the order book for that type, but a swift "about face" would look embarrassing in certain circles methinks.
