Me, I've never flown in a 747 and don't want to. I certainly don't plan to ever fly in an A380. Not even in super-first class. I also hate large 'hub' airports. I prefer to fly local planes between local airports. A single-aisle A320 is plenty large enough for me, and I prefer the new generation of much smaller Fokker, Embraer, Bombardier, etc. jets.

I reckon Boeing, if the 'network' rather than 'hub-and-spoke' model prevails, will find its Dreamliner design, if it works and is truly economical, is a big winner.

And I say that as a European with some kind of (now, only emotional, I guess) stake in Airbus.
