    You'd go for the 787 quicker so? Or the 7E7 if you're a bit of a tree hugger. Nah, i like it. The fact that its stupidly massive i like.

    I'd hate to be at that gate with 549 other people trying to get on the plane.

    Judging by the size of it the gate, check-in, security - in fact, the whole airport - will probably be inside the plane anyway.

    Channel 4 News had a clip of a Boeing UK guy saying that there was no way Airbus could recoup the investment, and then a clip of the Airbus chief at a press conference saying, in heavily accented english, but loudly and clearly:

    "Zat is... complete bullsh1t."

    I nearly wet myself laughing.
