We share a ♡ for the A380 with its mile-high air. I really noticed the difference flying the A380 to Europe and then a Boeing jet back a few days later. I had always assumed that flying long distances would make me feel bad and dehydrate my contacts. It’s so much better when the air pressure and humidity are kept just like Denver. When he meets Elon tomorrow, he intends to thank him for getting the Europeans to wake up. With the external threat of SpaceX, he is confident he can now complete the acquisition of Arianespace. (You may recall that his 2012 effort to acquire BAE was torpedoed by political concerns)
