A330 to A340 to A380

[fatbus]

So far the plan is all North America A380 by 2013( which means Mar 2014 )

I wouldn't think all US flying is going to the 380. #201 came within inches of being pulled this fall because of fuel burn.
YYZ made more money on the 777 than the 380.
Even if the MTOW increases on the 380 you still have only a finite amount of space in the belly for the bags which leaves no room for freight. By the way a 131 Tonne increase on the bus seems rather steep.
I believe the 380 is a perfect 8 hour airplane. Anything more you better fill the bird or you are going to take a bath. Not a shower.

That 's not what TC is saying.He loves it.But maybe he is wrong with ordering 120 of them.

I hear you fatbus! Cerbus mabye you should set up a meeting with TC, to prevent him from making some huge mistakes.

After all if TC is making the wrong call, it could bring EK down, and we will be on the street.

Cerbus you have got a huge responsibility on your shoulders my man! Act with diplomacy my friend. TC and his fellows will not take it lightly

In Cerbus we thrust,

Do you think TCs opinion of the 380 has anything to do with the kickbacks he receives from AB?
I am not saying the 380 is a bad airplane. It just fits a niche market.
Thanks for your concern DD and FB. I wear it well.
