Airbus 380

The giant Airbus 380 just been unveiled in Toulouse, I hear on the BBC.

Which way will the equations go? Here are some possibilities:

a) More passengers on a single aircraft = more people dead at any single accident
(justifiable if economically best option, of course, regardless of anything else)

b) Bigger planes = bigger comfort? Or bigger sardine can?

c) Bigger planes = comparatively more expensive tickets for a while?
(novelty effect must be included in calculation of returns, after all)

d) More bigger planes = Less smaller planes?
(or will this be the new version of "me rich you poor")
