They had to do the flights, how on earth else would they get some sort of revenue to compensate the trips - considering the volumes the two times I took the flight CDG-LHR and the non-Bingham look of most of the pax, it looks like that was actually quite succesful.

BA Delivery of A380
This may be a little off-topic, but does anyone know when BA will take the first deliveries of the A-380?

If I remember correctly, first A380 will be delivered to BA in 2013.

And as Airbus can't deliver anything on time besides A320, 2014 seems like a more reasonable date
