We get the idea that you don't like the design of the A380 and Airbus in general. And I think I speak for the majority of people who frequently have to fly long haul segments (for me, it's 4-5 13+ hr roundtrips per year) in coach that the inside of the plane is much more important.
If you want to continue to wax poetically, ala Garrison Keilor, about the romantic past of air travel that is your right. You are the one getting paid to write this column. But it is becoming unreadble.
I've said this before in response to your other subjective ramblings about the look of the A380, but stick to what you know and we will continue to read. Your insight as a pilot and knowledge of the aviation industry is what made your column unique. Not your experience as an industrial design critic.
