I believe it was Airliners that mentioned that Airbus needs as many people on the A 380 program as they can get and that there is where the Concorde support people are headed. By the way, I just read that Emirates is leasing 8 A 340-300 from Boeing (didn't they used to trade in non Boeings for 7x7's and scrap them afterwards?). Is it true that N679AN is now in standard AA colors? Say it aint so! DM
