   They should. The A380 will never make a dime. It would be best for Airbus to   
   take the loss and cancel the entire A380 program. Who needs Concorde II?   
      
   What they should do is cancel the A380 and turn their attention to the A350.   
   That at least has a chance of making money.   
   I say "chance" because Airbus was stupid enough to build the A380 in the   
   first place when the market clearly said there's no market for it. The same   
   morons that gave the go ahead for the A380 will be managing the A350.   
      
   One thing the stage was just set for...Airbus cancelling the A380F   
   freighter. There is only one customer for it and the new agreement says   
   either Airbus or the customer has the right to cancel. Basically Airbus is   
   deciding on whether it makes any sense to keep putting resources into the   
   A380F, especially when Chirac and Merkel keep mucking up efforts to get   
   other cost savings via a re-org.   
      
   Basically, the Euro fat-azzes like Whacko-Jacko and Angie will leave Airbus   
   way behind on the A350...but Boeing is luvvving it.
