As a solicitor it's always fun to go through Tom Bradley Terminal where the perpetual recorded message is "Please do not give money to solicitors".
Of course they mean vagrants and beggars but it was alarming the very first time I heard it as a young solicitor on my first trip to USA in 1982.

I'd prefer for them to show some evidence that air traffic has dropped since sept 11...

Just as a matter of interest. Where does an Airport get an ROI on money they spend to accomodate the 380? BTW, this is a genuine question.

Also, I'd imagine it's a long-term investment since the A380 isn't going anywhere for many many years (just like the 747), so it's less of an option and more of a neccessity to investment the money to facilitate A380 operations. Any idea if airlines foot a portion of the bill to make an airport A380-compatible.. or would they only have to pay for airline-specific extras such as an all-glass aerobridge for EK First Class passengers (that's just my idea...but I'm suprised they haven't thought of it!) ??

Pretty much what I was thinking. No wonder LAX is reluctant to get too carried away with the behemmoth. They would account for a miniscule percentage of their business, yet command huge costs to accomodate. Even if they're (380) not going away, they're not exactly going to be every second aircraft either with only a handful of airlines ever going to use them.
