I've always wondered what the reason is for building this aircraft. I think it's interesting; it's certainly huge, but if a 767 can fly from L.A. to Europe, and a 737 from L.A. to Hawaii, and a 747 fly easily from L.A. to Asia, I would think all bases are fairly covered - these are just examples from L.A.X. being a hub, BTW. I agree if cargo were this plane's particular execution, then the bigger the better. But I'm not sure, otherwise. Maybe a profit can be made with the amount of passengers the plane can carry vs. cheaper fares.
