Re: Past their best
One thing many people forget is that back in the 747's heyday seating was a lot less cramped. Cattle class then compares favourably with business class now. Right now the workloads of the A380s in service are relatively undemanding, and roomy configurations are the norm. Wait for a few 800 plus seat configurations to enter service. Place a bet on which carrier will be the first to jam in 1000, it's going to happen.
