An Airbus executive came out today and stated that the 380 will not be flying on friday, and not before next monday. Even though bad weather is scheduled for almost everyday this week in Toulouse.

I can't read that, plus how do you know it's not Media Spin?. I certainly don't belive everything i read i'am in scotland for example and the forcast all this week is rain and overcast and it's sunny and warm for a change http://uk.weather.ya...75/index_c.html. Airbus will get the A380 up as soon as it can so they can continue making progress on the project. I mean peolpe whant to see this bird fly. Especaily if there up to date on testing i mean the taxi and run up tests are comlpeleted and delays cost time and money. If the weather is right on friday whats the point in standing about?. There ony gonna not fly if something needs sorted or they have a few major delays,

Ive only been on a plane once with wing flex noticable when i went on a SWA 737-700 w/ winglets the wings flex pretty good it looks so cool and its fun to watch em flop around in turbulence (Lots of heat thermals in the summer here in Texas )

Cant wait to see the A380 in action (on tv.....)

They aren't going to take any risks.    They will wait until everything is perfect.

No.

It would be Airbus' loss if they lost the aircraft instead of clearing up all the problems.

What the ###### do you have against Airbus ?  It's because it's european ?  If Airbus was an american company, would you act like this ?
