It aint a dogfight, its a turkey shoot.

The A-380 is getting killed. Boeing set them up, and now they are going to knock them down.

I've alway wondered if Boeing maneuvered Airbus into committing to the A380 project before moving on to what has become the 787 , the enhanced 777 and now the 747-8.

Cashflow has got to be a major problem for the folks at Airbus, even more so recently, as I read on FR a report that now Air France is expecting a one year delay on their 380's.

"Turkey Shoot" I like it.

Well, Singapore airlines is not to very happy with the 6 month delay and performance problems, and other technical problems with the A-380, and those orders that were not firmed up, could those orders possibly go to the 747-8I ?
If the A-380 runs into more delays, that will be the final straw that broke Airbuse's back ?
Just imagine those airlines that ordered the A-380, then learning of those problems with the A-380, and are sitting on the fence, and now has a new option in the new 747-8I-8F.
