RE: A319s For SAS
"The SAS A333 SE-REF in Star Alliance livery..why is the nose light brown instead of the normal SAS white? Any ideas?"
Because the regular SAS color is not white - it is light grey/creme/brown-ish. That nose cone has the regular SAS color.

RE: What Does MD-80 Etc Sound Like At The Back?
Yes, the MD-80 is pretty load back there, I have experienced this many times.
I was however very surprised to find that the MD-90 is actually pretty quiet in the back.

RE: Likelihood Of BA A380's
Of course the big question mark is wether the 747Adv project will ever progress beyond the "paper" stage. It certainly would not be the first time Boeing has cancelled a 747 derivative.

it seems like most carriers will configure their A380 to carry 555-500 passengers, in three classes. I'm guessing that an equivalent 747-400 density would be 420-380 passenegers. Now that is not high-density by any means. One can squeeze in 550+ in a 747-400, and ~800 in an A380 in all economy confi...
