On the A380 - How do you expect the 380 to be a money maker if no other operators select it? Please explain. Even Airbus is starting to say that the break even is north of 500 frames. The order book isn't even half that amount.
I could be wrong, but maybe he means it will be profitable for the operators...whereas you are talking about profits for Airbus from sales.
