To an extent, but Ba don't use the a380 on Heathrow to New York, despite being one of the busiest long haul routes and LHr (and I assume JFK) being full. High profit passengers value the near hourly service. They use them on long routes with low frequency but lots of connections - singapore, Joburg, LAX. A380 definitely works for hub and spokes though - emirates run about 10 a380 flights to the uk every day.
