Same seats?

Are they having a laugh - surely EK39/40 will change to the A380. I just assumed it hadn't made the booking engines as yet.

I know EK39/40 is still advertised as the 77W but what justification can there be for not adding the 380 other than the lack of 615 seat versions available or are the 68000-70000 a month getting dirt cheap fares?

I realise from day one that EK41/2 was under threat and have no quarrel with the cancellation, as it has never managed great loads outside of the school holidays but surely Emirates are not going to hand over thousand of passengers a month to the competition or are they hoping they will use EK at MAN, LHR or LGW? It made perfect sense to cut EK41/2 and increase EK39/40 unless cargo will be an issue.
