I disagree. This aircraft is going to change the airline industry and it's going to be a big success. Maybe I am bias, because it is my absolute favorite aircraft ever, which is why I paid $90 to have a custom Pan Am A380 model made. It flew into San Francisco a couple months ago and then flew back and forth over the waterfront and Golden Gate Bridge for about 45 minutes. Everyone in the office was watching it out our windows - we had a great view. It was simply awe-inspiring. I cannot wait until this puppy starts service to SFO.
I find that some people, and I'm not saying the original poster, have a huge bias against Airbus. All in all, I prefer Boeing, but I prefer the A380 to everything. IMO it is simply stunning.
I have the opinion that once the A380 really gets going we are:
1. Going to see United and NWA place orders.
2. See more domestic carriers and we are going to see the A380 flying coast to coast service in the U.S.
