I hope you mean Skywards Miles? Skymiles are Delta Air Lines currency I think.

Maybe one day those of us who were lucky enough to fly in F on 380 will be talking about it like how some of the old timers talk about the Concorde.

The Growth in numbers will all depend how quickly a carrier can start charging appealing fares again, demand will be there I have no doubt, but if carriers are charging too much, due to no saver fares or increased cancellation policies, you have lost the Y leisure market and the J leisure traveller. Companies will tighten belts with business travel so definitely will be less of that, for the next few years.

What would be the point of having PE on 3 or 4 aircraft? I suppose they could introduce it on one or two specific routes and use them there, similar to the new F on the B777.

okay.
I would have thought they are doing this to test protocols for re-opening, but no mention of that in the video.

According to the PPRUNE forum another 850 Airbus pilots got the boot since this Sunday as their forward projections have worsened or the Dubai Government refuses to put in more money.
One pilot made a statement that only 30 380s will remain in service.
The number of 380s remaining is definitely unconfirmed, the number of redundancies definitely not just by checking my Instagram.
At the same time I can see how the Crowne Prince of Dubai proudly inspects DXB airport - oh well....
