This reminds me of the US Auto industry in the 60's. Build them bigger and put on tail fins and everything will be okay. I keep looking for those fins on the 380, they must be somewhere.

Boeing did the market research and Airbust didn't. Boeing studied the market for over a year. They even explored a joint venture with Airbus based on the a doubledeck 747. Again it was panned. Airplanes should be built to satisfy maket needs, not to compensate for the small members of European leaders.

Look on the wingtips.
