"Flying the A380 is expected to be like any other Airbus, requiring less than two weeks of additional training"

That is impressive, and underscores an important advantage.

I posted in real av, must have missed it. But weather permiting, Wednesday is currently set as the first flight.
Most likely to be broadcast on major news channels live. No time is set yet.

Like i posted in the past, the A380 while very simmilar to fly, compaired to the A340/ 747, it has been reported round Airbus but not publicly, that a few of the pilots have struggled to land it, and has taken alot of practice in the simulator.
