Sonoace you are now one of my best friends! Yeah Airbus doesn't make good planes, besides their A380 needs to make 265 to break even, and they only have orders for about 259, and will never reach 1,000 like teh 747's. See this plane is still too big for its day, and it was subsidized by the government. If it hadn't been for the government (of European countried) they'd only be making A320/A321's. The A380's biggest issue is that a plane that will never break even, is just taking away from the orders of the better 747-8 Intercontinental, which has better effeciency and lower operating costs and can hold almost as much people....
