I love the A380 however the B747 is much better with freight capacity so with reduced demand, low fuel prices, higher cargo yield and capacity plus a smaller flight crew team to put on unpaid leave, I can see the A380s being grounded until the crisis is over in favour of the B747 continuing operations.
