whilst i love the idea of a double decker monster ... in practice it seems like it's just too easy for operations to go wrong.

i keep hearing about delays in boarding ... and scrums at gates which aren't designed to handle the number of passengers on an A380

and with all those people on one plane - the chance of somebody getting sick and the plane needing to divert are obviously increased

and once you get into EU261 territory - the cost of dealing with an a380 load must make the accountants cry !
