Pretty much what I was thinking. No wonder LAX is reluctant to get too carried away with the behemmoth. They would account for a miniscule percentage of their business, yet command huge costs to accomodate. Even if they're (380) not going away, they're not exactly going to be every second aircraft either with only a handful of airlines ever going to use them.
