I think you people are missing the important point here which is safety, and getting this issue sorted out which EK are doing at the moment.

I'm sure most pax would rest easy they're on metal that's 100 percent airworthy, no mater how small the problem might be.

How safe would you feel if your 380 flight hit severe turbulance at 12,000 meters above an ocean with those cracks in the wings ?

It's a simple problem to fix with time consuming work, but it should be all behind us very soon.
