Your A380 flight has been delayed

And will be taking off at least another six months later than scheduled. Europe’s super mega ultra aerospace group EADS announced another production setback for its super mega ultra Airbus A380 airliner yesterday. There seems to be another problem with the wiring. No, not the wiring that’s holding it from the ceiling, du Witzbold (jokster)!

But if you’re building an aircraft that can hold up to 800 people, it’s probably a good idea to get this stuff right. Or at least that’s what the new Airbus management team seems to think. And we’re with you guys all the way on this one, seriously. Take your damned time on this, won’t you? The old management team got kicked out in June because of the first delay, you see.

And after all, one symbolic delivery is expected for Singapore Airlines by the end of this year. Then it’s up to them to find all the symbolic passengers they’ll need to fill it up. It is not clear if Singapore Airlines will be paying symbolic money for this symbolic aircraft or not, however.

Personally, I can’t wait to fly this thing. But it looks like I’ll have to wait anyway. I do hope, when the day finally comes, that they will at least have the decency to provide me with a map and a compass so I can find my way to my seat once I get onboard. Oops, forgot. No more onboard stuff anymore. This is getting really complicated.

But I’m determined to give it a try anyway. If it’s the last thing I ever do, so to speak. Which reminds me, a buddy of mine has gotten really set in his ways and dogmatic about this issue and always says “If it’s not a Boeing, I’m not going.” The wussy. No risk no fun.
