Even as the market has come under pressure, the aerospace giant’s shares remain pretty close to all-time highs.

Better Buy: General Electric vs. Boeing
The flight paths of these two aviation-focused companies have diverged significantly in recent years.

Regardless of the economics, I’ll miss the A380 once it’s gone - one of the quietest planes I’ve been on.
The Airbus was created for a hub system that is collapsing. Yes, for that UAE airlines the hub system works really well and simply as an accident of geography and some wise investment it will continue to work for them right up unit the Tribulation/Great Tribulation is underway.
The collapse of the hub system is inherently one caused by the fact that two engine planes can now service routes for what used to require (practically, not just legally) more engines.
Moreover, Airbus though was doomed because it was not designed to be from the start a cargo hauler the way the 747 was. It could have been a magnificent cargo hauler. But it’s not. The 747 as a sky truck will be nearly immortal as planes go the way the B52 has been.
It will also be in my book, "Astonishing Tales of the Sky."
I was on a 12-hour flight from Frankfurt to Johannesburg aboard a Lufthansa A380. It was the worst flight of my life. Every seat was full. I was super cramped with no leg room. The in-flight movie/TV selections were also awful. I’m sure the Emirates A380 flights are much better.
I bought that book Gone With The Wind because I thought it was about airplane gliders.
You just can’t judge a book with two in the bush.....or something.
Which is why you never put all your books in one basket.
Very few airlines need a long haul jet... the market is very small.
The A380 is a very good long distance jet but not many people fly 12 to 14 hours non stop to a destination.
Of course you can't order change. What would you pay with? Hot dogs? That's backwards.
I went to a Buddhist Learjet maker and said "Make me one with everything." He said "That will be $19 million." I gave him a $20 million bill and he said thanks. I said "Where's my change?" He said "Change must come from within."
I looked inside and there was a million in change.
See!
You and I think alike!
You should probably be really worried about that, though.

That’s about The stupidest thing I ever hear
I requires great talent to sound that... whatever
My hat off to you
The Boeing managers who chose to not go double decker were standing on Joe Sutter's incisive and brave shoulders.
” but not many people fly 12 to 14 hours non stop to a destination.”
That seems to be coming more common-—several family members have done it several times,and these were not business trips.

Oh no.
You’re probably a Zen Master, aren’t you?
I tried to do that medication once. You know, where you sit cross legged and hum Stairway To Heaven, but I fell asleep.
“not designed to be from the start a cargo hauler the way the 747 was”
Why is the A380 difficult to convert to a cargo plane?
With the 380 out of the way, there is talk here (Seattle area) of an updated 747 making a comeback should the need arise. Airports are already congigured for it (35+ years ago)
“Very few airlines need a long haul jet... the market is very small.”
I know little about airlines but remember an airline executive saying that a surefire way to ruin an airline is to buy planes that are too large.
