Eli,
Imagine if the A380 delivery on September 21 featured an aircraft doused in grit and soot and which featured tired and dull looking paint.
Regardless of in-flight service and all the rest presentation to the public also carries weight.
It would be the same as hiring a limousine which turned up dirty with faded paint. Regardless of how nice the champagne was or the leather seats were it was still a dirty limousine.
As the saying goes... "Image is everything".
