Good grief! Now you'll have to get to the airport 4 hrs. early. Can
you imagine how long it would take to check in and board 800 people and

This is so funny. It reads like what one read in the trade magazines of
the late 60s about the 747. Exactly, almost word for word. Look at us
today: Does anyone think anything about boarding a 747 flight?

Ah, human nature and innovation...

Yeah, you notice that these planes have more than one door -- it would
be _so_ nice if airports would design gates to use multiple doors at
the same time...

(I know, some airports in Europe do this. Just not here.)

That's why the A380 should do well in Europe and Asia. They tend to use all
the doors available. It seems obvious.
