If you look at the number of passengers, then the A380 is vastly more
efficient, because unless a car carries hundreds of passengers, you are
going to have hundreds of drivers and comparatively few passengers
compared to two pilots and hundreds passengers on the Airbus.


More efficient in fuel-per-passenger-mile? Doubtful.


The A380 doesn't need 110 pilots to carry 440 passengers. Huge manpower
savings.


True, but it does need more pilots than 110 passenger cars do. Small
manpower savings to the cars! G
