Dismissed as Fake News by M. Fabrice Brégier

What else would you expect from a website called fool.com?

The Motley Fool is a well regarded entity and M. Fabrice Brégier, has a serious "objectivity" issue in this matter. From the squawk, read the next article where United/Co. is retiring their 747 fleet early for the same cost of ops. and excess capacity reasons quoted in the cited article. The A380 is on the ropes. So is the 74. So is the Circus. Some things lose their edge. And of the three, "The greatest show on earth", is the greater loss to me.

Agree. Elephants, acrobats, and clowns will be missed more than the Airbug. Can't get the image of a giant white well fed tick out of my mind.

I agree, looks like very constipated whale. But I can tell you that once you are sitting in it for a long flight it looks very attractive!

I'm 6'4" and flew Lears, You know the scale. A Challenger was a complicated palace.

With the motley Internet and the signal-to-noise ratio it is easy to overlook unfamiliar legitimate sites.

And, on occasion, I have been caught "with my trousers around my tarsals" for having not read all the article, verifying the source, or all of the above. No harm, no foul. And the only thing missing in Joel's original post was the "made of unobtanium" FA sarc. font. LOL
