Are we sure though that it has been decided to scrap it? I know that it will be out of action for ages whatever BA decide to do with it (although I suspect scrapping would be the sensible option unless the damage is minor which it won't be).
The other thing that is interesting is that the A380 orderbook for Airbus is not that strong and there have been some deferments and cancellations for 2015 with Emirates making up over half the orderbook now. I did wonder if BA would try to take some of the 2015/16 A380s early.... I also wonder given that the A350 isn't coming for a bit if Airbus will do a bit of a deal with BA to take a few more A380's as Airbus will for sure want to have more than EK being the sole airline with future options....
