The US doesn't equal the world. Pull your head out of your ass,
and you'll realize there's more to the world than the US.

Asia and the Middle East would disagree with you. And seeing
that they've put their money where their mouths are, they would have a
bigger clout and outlook on the market than you.
The airlines aren't as stupid as you (thankfully).

Apparently you've forgotten the fact that the smaller the land
mass, the denser the population is or can become. Case in point: Japan.
If you've noticed, the B747SP worked well for there, taking more people
at one time from one place to another, which is the opposite of the US,
where the land mass is so big that people are spread out. So smaller
planes more frequently profit more, instead of big planes with less
flights.
Same will go for the A380. If you weren't so US-centric, you'd
figure that out.

Like you said before, big smegging deal. Emirates, Qantas, and
Singapore were well ahead of them on this, because most US legacy
carriers were too busy saving their asses from Ch. 11 bankruptcies
because they spent too damn much expanding. Until you start looking at
this from a more worldly perspective, you live what you preach; have no
clue whatsoever about what you're talking about.
