Most airlines aren't even considering the A380 and the ones that are will only use it on routes that serve terminals already equipped to handle aircraft of this scope. You don't see 747s and 777s servicing intra-national destinations and you won't see the A380 servicing them either. And THOSE are the terminals and runways that would need upgraded. <br /> <br />I simply do not understand why people cling to Amtrak. Let it die already. If there is demand and room in the national transportation network for it, someone will step into the role. I sometimes wonder if out there there are people demanding for federal subsidies for zeppelins and steamships.
