One last question if you don't mind 5555555

What is your opinion (if any) of the new A380 and Boeing Dreamliner with regard to fitting in with current air travel? Too big? a good idea carrying up to 800 passengers, or you don't give a flying f.... 5555

I know ya asked someone else. Yes the 380 will be a nightmare. 1600+ bags to offload, and get to other flights, or god forbid baggage claim. More room needed at the terminal, both inside, and for the plane itself. Double decker jetways maybe. And it better have enough toilets.

Meanwhile the 787 Dreamliner looks like it will be a hit. There are at least three different configurations, and one will carry up to 330 passengers. They will use 20% less fuel than todays simular sized aircraft. Not only a hit, this aircraft will be a home run.

Not a pilot, but I do fly alot.
