IOW, "Don't worry, the A380 will be fine. The 747 had problems too, ya' know."

BS. The A380 engines are fine. It's the plane itself that's broke. There will not be 100 of them in service for many, many years, if ever.

It made its UK debut on 18 May 2006 when it landed at Heathrow from Berlin.

So now we're comparing test flights with actual passenger-carrying flights. Wake me up when Singapore lands its first A380.
