Comment Big is Beautiful? (Score 3, Informative) 776
It seems the airline industry is going in two separate directions. Airbus is going for capacity while Boeing is going for distance.
The problem with this airbus is that is is so big, it will only be able to land at the major hubs. This will take traffic away from the smaller airports and increase the load placed on the major airports.
Boeing's 7E7 seems to be a better idea to me.
Personally, I would rather fly Concorde!!
