New Sheriff at the Festung?

It's widely reported today that at one and the same time that the A380 was tooling around with a full load of pseudopassengers for the first time, Charles Champion, the erstwhile head of the A380 program has been given the old heave ho by Christian Streiff, the CEO of Airbus.

Some analysts are suggesting that Champion's replacement Mario Heinen is a little mismatched for the job.

Best of luck to Super Mario. He'll need it.

As they say, no good deed goes unpunished.
