Actually, I think you have the numbers mixed up. The current stat looks like: 1,779 flights over 8 aircrafts logging in total 5,043 hrs., 35 minutes of flight time. That's close to double what the A380 has.. Let me know if you're reading that differently. All I know is that between the two of these aircrafts - they've practically tested the wings off of them! Kudos to the aviation industry! And to the original comment, a company like Boeing or Airbus isn't going to release a plane that hasn't been sufficiently tested.

Comment Fresh blood to fight the good fight (Score 1) 835

I think it's paramount that fresh blood be brought in so it's not the same old folks who feel trapped in the system, and don't have enough fire in their hearts to go fight the fight anymore when someone says "you can't" for "insert stock response." I think that kind of person can be young or old, just typically found more with students fresh out of college.
