The understanding being the lack of belly space.

This is one of many articles praising the A380 from the publics view.
As a majority of people on this board seem to think the A380 is a joke, the general public seems to think differantly.

In the end it doesnt matter what the airlines, pilots, mechanics think..... its all about Public demand!

This sounds like one hell of a plane from a passengers standpoint
