Thought I read somewhere that Emirates Air already wants to rasie the

capacity of the A380...round about 800 pax, IIRC.

Good grief! Now you'll have to get to the airport 4 hrs. early. Can
you imagine how long it would take to check in and board 800 people and
their luggage?

Forget check-in and luggage... Can you imagine Custom lines if a couple of
these suckers land at the same time?

Faky,

it is at the least very risky to be putting all
of your eggs in one basket with the A380.


It would be - if Airbus did. They don't. They have a line of aircraft
covering all needs, including a competitor to the 787, the 350. To
pretend that Boeing's line-up is anywhere near as complete ais Airbus's
would be, well, strange.

Dean,

No subsidies, no A350


Boeing would be long dead without subsidies.

Dean,

Bull****, Boeing doesn't receive government subsidies.


Bruhaha.

This is so funny. It reads like what one read in the trade magazines of
the late 60s about the 747. Exactly, almost word for word. Look at us
today: Does anyone think anything about boarding a 747 flight?

Ah, human nature and innovation...

Cub,

(which will probably never get off the ground).


How do you get these ideas? A friend of mine is busy designing the
vertical stabilizer as we speak. It will fly, since it will be the
succesor of the 330.

Yes, I do.

Or rather, I don't, if I can help it.

yes. One reason I like RJ's and turboprop aircraft is the short time required
to load and unload the aircraft.

Yeah, you notice that these planes have more than one door -- it would
be _so_ nice if airports would design gates to use multiple doors at
the same time...

(I know, some airports in Europe do this. Just not here.)
