Dreamliner an albatross?

Lowest cost per seat mile double aisle aisle aircraft in the industry. More planes sold in the shortest time in history. Largest number of planes on back-order in history.

Yes, a real pig./sarc.

Neither is an "albatross", (that was mfg by Grumman.) :D

That said, I'll gladly fly in the Dreamliner; and, I will take meticulous pains to avoid flights on the A380.

“Dreamliner and A380 ridiculous albatrosses and unecessary....”

Obviously you are not in the aviation industry. The 737 are coming up for replacement, the 757 and 767 are getting a bit long in the tooth, airports want quieter airplanes, airlines need more fuel effeciency and less maintenance costs and more airtime.

Also, the 787 is NOT the same size as the A380. The 787, while coming out at the same basic timeframe, is not meant to be a competitor to the 380 in size. It is not even a replacement to the 747.

The Dreamliner an albatross? I don't think so. You do realize that they don't compete for the same market space, right? The Dreamliner is a far smaller plane intended for smaller markets.
