I did notice it was there a while back for a repaint as it didn't satisfy Qatar however I'm starting to wonder what else is going on because Boeing was able to paint Ana and started United's 787 today and Qatar's had been in Tx for twice that time. Makes me wonder if something's up with it.williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376809049176685046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-3214899124837871702013-12-19T18:59:42.369-05:002013-12-19T18:59:42.369-05:00TurtleLuv, FWIW it looks like LN25 (Air India) jus...TurtleLuv, FWIW it looks like LN25 (Air India) just came out of EMC and is in pre-flight. Also Charleston just sent LN135 (UAL) to Portland for paint. LN129 (Qatar) has been in Ft.

That random comment seems like a questionable source to me. JAL doesn't have a habit of taking delivery of frames and then letting them sit around KPAE. Or is this a similar situation to line 20? Something getting fixed/replaced?<br /><br />b.) what's going on at the EMC? with only two line 20+ frames left to finish up, you'd think they'd have 5-6 of the 10-19 set in there underway, but most of them are still sitting on the runway.TurtleLuvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18186130057500645159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-49703757169766863502013-12-18T14:01:40.156-05:002013-12-18T14:01:40.156-05:00Norwegian is leasing them, not buying them.Norwegian is leasing them, not buying them.Ureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277326957559578045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-36955718018211604632013-12-18T14:00:09.088-05:002013-12-18T14:00:09.088-05:00I heard Norwegian ordered an additional 2 as -9...I heard Norwegian ordered an additional 2 as -9's but where are the other new orders coming from?Andrew Munsellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508504195347644645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-74351332349233785082013-12-17T17:12:03.425-05:002013-12-17T17:12:03.425-05:00Thanks!

What Boeing could do is deliver another 40 or more aircraft in December and come up with 622 aircraft for 2013. This would show progress during a year that had 4 months of grounding for the 787 and a reduction in production with the 747-8i. It still will become a remarkable year even if Boeing Delivers 8 more 787 in December.Trapperpkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06686169732747813142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-33537862045859659792013-12-10T15:43:12.404-05:002013-12-10T15:43:12.404-05:00It's agonizingly slow right now as far as deli...It's agonizingly slow right now as far as deliveries are concerned. I thought Boeing should be up around 10 deliveries a month right now, but after November's five and a slow start to December, it seems they're having some serious issues again getting these things out the door. Icing engine issues? Software updates? We'll probably never know.<br /><br />Particularly frustrating is China Southern. 10-13 test flights and 3-4 months since their first flights (lines 36 and 104)? That doesn't look good for Boeing. At least there's no Air India backlog (of ready for delivery frames)for once.TurtleLuvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18186130057500645159noreply@blogger.com
