The 'other' will make money for sure, of course only once it actually starts to make it to the customers respective fleets which is still some time off and like the A380 is several years behind schedule and over budget.

No one is arguing the A380 program in terms of sales has been well below expectations, but to say that the A380's woes continues and to have a blog entitled "Shoot the dog part five" is overly melodramtic and far from reality.

Over the past two years the A380 has proved itself in service and there clearly is a market for it but, yes sales are slow and it will take years to cover the costs of development and make a profit. All known facts and nothing new at all.
