Maybe they got them cheap and/or on very favorable terms, such as pay-per-hour of use, from Doric. Otherwise it can't be much of an investment keeping them around for some airline that needs capacity and is willing to pay for it. Note that Dr Peters leasing parted out the two other early-model A380s.
