The biggest problem is the loading and unloading times. With increasing passenger capacity, the loading time will take much longer because there's only one gate to embark and disembark on.
If the airport would create two or three gates to speed up the loading/unloading time, that would be good.
Bigger is good because it means cheaper tickets. It cost less to fly 1000 people on a single plane than to fly 1000 people on several planes when you factor in maintenance, gas, airport fees, and landing fees. WIth the oil prices going up, I don't think people will mind spending a couple more hours. Besides these planes are only useful for long transatlantic, pacific flights, or continental flights.
