Wrong, all the planes built will go into service, there is no prototype. The second will not be broken into pieces. I don't know where you get your information from, but its not from any knowledge of airplanes.

Airbus will be doing flight testing on the first 5 planes, they are all the same, no prototype. 2500 hours of flights, with one plane engined with GE/PW GP7200 engines, and the others with the Rolls Royce Trent 900 engines.

First plane goes to Singapore airlines, and will be in service in the last quarter of 2006. Good article about the first flight and testing program in this month's Air Transport World.

As for the name calling of Airbus, pretty childish.
