How so? Seems like the A380 issues affect the U.S. the least since the domestic passenger carriers don't fly them and relatively little traffic to/from the U.S. is handled by them. How did "Europhobia" exacerbate the A380's issues?

On the narrowbodies, isn't each seat about an inch wider on an Airbus than on the comparable Boeing? I seem to recall reading here that the A320 fuselage is just a tiny bit larger than the 737 fuselage, so in a 3x3 config you'd get 18 inches of buttspace as opposed to 17".
