Seems to me that the only thing keeping the A380 alive...barely alive...is Emirates.Boeing realizes that their 747 is basically dead but Airbus,as is typical of Europeans,doesn't know when to throw in the towel.

I've flown the A380 several times...a nice aircraft for sure but I'd bet it's no better than the 747-8.

I recall reading that Emirates placed an order for 40 787s instead of more A380s, adding to the woes of the A380 program.
