I am sure the A-380 will be an engineering tour de force and all possible energy will be brought forward to achieve nearly perfect reliability. But near-perfect is not perfect. The risk that is being taken by the manufacturer and purchasers of these very large aircraft seems like a reverse-lottery -- while the chances of disaster are very small, the penalty would be very high. It will be interesting to see how the public reacts if one of these with a full passenger load falls from the sky. Who knows -- the public might just shrug. But if they don't, a sizeable investment could be wiped out. That's not a risk I'd undertake with equanimity. Considering that the net profit of the entire airline business to date is $0.00, I guess either the A-380 buyers fatalistically think they have nothing more to lose, or else we're getting more insight into why the profit to date is $0.00. <br /> <br />What was the source for the airport expenditures to accommodate the A-380? I'd be interested in reading the full discussion. <br /> <br />OS
