Yup, really worked out for TEPCO and their utterly useless Pres. who worked his way up from the lowest ranks. If key decisions are being made by nameless "teams", then no one has to show any leadership or accountability. That, in a nutshell, is what's wrong with Japanese companies.

Oh! 6.5 hours! not 4.5! Well that changes everything.............Still waiting for that long list of incidents, Spida.....

Not loony at all, Spida. Just common sense. And a 4.5 hour delay does not constitute an incident. Perfectly safe aircraft, and I'm sure when the time comes for you to fly off someday and see the A380 parked at your gate, you won't put your money where your mouth is.

NetNinja- more of the same, tired arguments. I've already explained the difference and history of the RR engines and the A380. Not a single incident has been reported which would be the fault of the Airbus 380.

By the way. Spidapig. Still waiting for that definitive incident report. Can I assume it's not forthcoming?

Spidapig - Wrong. Didnt say that at all. I simply said the aircraft hasnt been at fault once for any incident. Pilot error is pilot error.

Nothing but a monument Ishihara wants to erect in his own honour. He could give 2 sh*** about the people up there. After all, he claims the disasters were divine punishment for Japanese egoism (supposedly only the people in Tohoku are guilty)

USNinJapan2 - again, if pilots at their air show cant taxi, thats human error, but for the life of me I cant see how this falls under the banner of "incidents" as if its an inherently dangerous aircraft. I get the feeling you want to turn this into a Boeing vs. Airbus debate which I could give a rat's a** about. As long as it gets me from point A to point B with no death involved, I'm good. The fact is it's a perfectly safe aircraft It's all a big cattle call in any airliner these days, so who cares what co. makes it, eh?

Spidapig- well what "incident" are you referring to?

Spidapig - you are referring to the crash off the coast of Brazil 2 years ago, no?

Cant blame Airbus if a pilot cant learn to taxi without hitting a building. As I mentioned before, the engine problem was the fault of Rolls-Royce, whom Airbus succesfully settled out of court with this past week. Spidapig, the crash you are referring to is the A330, not the A380

NetNinja - wrong on both counts. To date, the A380 has only been involvolved in one (1) incident which has since been discovered to be a design flaw with the Rolls Royce engines. Nothing to do with the aircraft itself. The 787 Dreamliner is a much smaller aircraft designed to fly to cities outside of just the main hubs like the superjumbo-class A380 or 747s. Your "recommendation" for Skymark to choose the 787 is like asking a family of 7 to buy a prius instead of a van.

NetNinja- You're really on a roll today. First your bogus statement that a geophysicist declared an end to all sisemic (sp?) activity in the Tokyo area is torn to shreds. Second, you somehow, mysteriously declare moral victory when someone points out that even 1-pointers can be felt. Maybe the best part was your assertion that Japan and NZ are in the same "Ring of Fire". Immediately called out for that, you declare science still in its infancy (and surely to prove you correct in the future). You're a real "move the goalposts" kind of guy. Pretty funny to watch, really.

NetNinja - you WERE wrong. Your original post suggested there was a "No more quakes in Tokyo" movement.

Netninja- congratulations Nostradamus. But where exactly did any geophysicist predict earthquakes were a thing of the past? I'm still looking for that little nugget..

NetNinja - Where do u think I'm going with this? It's a pretty pointed question. And I can assume you are from the "hood"? Got lots of experience hanging out with "those guys" do you?
