The understanding being the lack of belly space.
I heard they couldn't engineer exit slides that drop down from the upper emergency exits, onto the wing, and then off the wing. Seemed crazy to me, but I have heard it from numerous sources.

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
How would you like to be the last passenger getting off of the 380? People jumping up and getting to the overhead bin once the seat belt chime sounds! HA.....The new airline grip would not be luggage but passenger's missing flights because of 380 downloads. Just my though.
