With 90 380's on order surley someone has thought well we need to shift this pax from the hubs out to the spokes?

Was hoping something like that would happen with PG but Etihad and airberlin have got in there and now most conections seem to be through Thai *A.
Dubai is EK's hub, all other destinations are their spokes. Whats not to understand?
