My point isn't about having fancy things: it's about exploring whether CX has or has not found the commercial value when considering the A380 as opposite to 777. ME3 carriers also have to find and validate the market values of having A380s. They too have to meet the right demand and make money, not that they can just buy whatever 'fancy' things out there ignoring all other factors.

Do elaborate on the SG model. Enlighten us.
