Delta executive says no fit for A380 in carrier's system
The Airbus A380, the world's largest jetliner, does not figure in the current plans of Delta Air Lines Inc, an executive at the carrier said on Monday, citing the reliability and efficiency of smaller aircraft. "We don't see an application for the A380 in our network," Steve Dickson, senior vice president for flight operations, said during an interview at the AIAA Aviation Forum in Atlanta.

The largest A380 operator, Emirates, is also one of the world's most profitable airlines. (http://www.tourism-review.com/travel-tourism-magazine-emirates-airlines-the-outlook-for-revenue-is-20-higher-article2184)
Profitability is pretty much last among criteria for picking an airline to fly, at least if you care about the other criteria, like safety or efficiency.
This approach we agree on despite the two Group six approved r/ways ( 9C ) TBA and
10 C already in use here at the 2nd busiest AP - Hub in the nation.

You know they're not louder, right?
I have just been on the A380 on a flight from Frankfurt to Miami (my first flight on the A380) and I must say I am quite impressed with the low level of noise as well as the lack of vibration. The A380 obviously presents a new level of passenger comfort. Together with its lower fuel consumption the A380 certainly is a new class of its own.

You got that right.
yes, let's use a 1960's era airframe instead? like the 737?
