Plus, the stats you quote can easily be skewed either way to show the 380 is better. It may not be easy on the eyes, but it makes the company money..lots of it.

How many PREMIUM pax does the 380 carry again...oh yeah, 90, and the T7, just 50...so don't worry typhoon, those 40 extra PREMIUM pax fares will more than make up for the extra gas!! Plus, the passengers (those who supply the revenue), prefer the 380 to the T7.

Fatbus is correct, the 380 will soon be doing US west coast, so you guys can kiss those flights goodbye as well.

Our boss, TC, was recently quoted as saying that EK would buy 120 380's but they are constrained by space at DXB....quite a ringing endorsement I would say, especially knowing how ruthless EK is when it comes to cutting costs and making lots of money. You jilted 777 drivers better get used to losing more of your cushy flights to the 380.

And, when the 350's start coming you will be doing all the crappy night India turnarounds and Africa flights.

And I will have a huuuuge grin on my face!

Enjoy!
