Suggested arrival to airport for passengers' check-in is eight hours prior to flight. :-)

And those loading lines (waiting to get on the plane from the counter), and unloading lines (waiting to get off the plane, get to the baggage counter, get the baggage, get the rental car ... all in one huge herd of impatient people) are why I would never fly the thing.

If it's all the same to you I'd rather dive with Stingrays than fly in an A380

474 is about what 747s have been carrying for more than 30 years now. Its only in the sardine carrying mode the 380 can carry 800. I want to see the employees do that test.

They could fill the airframe with helium and just float.

I am betting that they will very closely resemble the cattle cars of basic training.

Airbus says it is on schedule to deliver the first finished A380 to Singapore Airlines Ltd. by the end of the year, despite the latest wave of costly delays that are expected to hold up subsequent deliveries by about six months. OK....

I was just thinking the very same thing, d. I haven't lfown since TWA800 was shot down, but there's still no way in hell I'd ever get on one of those 'Winged Titanics'. No way.

If it's all the same to you I'd rather dive with Stingrays than fly in an A380 I wonder if "crocodile hunter" Steve Irwin was invited to that flight...
