I hope so.

I do think it's an easier decision for airlines to buy the 787 than the A-380, given the investment and all the additional fuss needed for the super jumbo (longer gates, way more seating in the terminal or multiple gates, etc). As much as I hate commercial flying, I can't imagine what it will be like at the gates for A-380 flights, and getting on and off the plane. I don't think it will be pretty...
