It would be the perfect airplane for basically all US legacy carriers, because all serve international routes on smaller aircraft, NW and UA TPAC excluded...

However, it is kinda cool looking....which begs the question: Do you think that we will see the A380 at IAH anytime soon? KL has 2 flights to AMS, and BA has 2 to GTW. The KL flights have a significant time between them, but the BA ones are fairly close, so do you think that BA might combine them into one massive flight? Is IAH able to handle the superjumbo?
