| #3 As much as I'm not a fan of the A380, I don't see the point of this. It's bad enough that there's a potential for a huge loss of life in a 747 mishap (think Air India, or the Mt. Otsuka crash), a crash of a fully-loaded A380 would have the potential to be absolutely mind-boggling. But if airlines want to gamble on this, let them. |

| #2 For the size of that 380 monster, you will need a Star Trek-type cloaking device. |

| #1 A bit too obvious.... really a bit too obvious. But nice try anyway. We'll retaliate with a EU directive that requires Boeing planes to stock Bavarian beer. And flight attendants in short skirts. And a pony. We want a pony, too. |
