So the deliveries in June and July may easily pass the 10 per month / 20 total figure Boeing is trying to hit. <br />I also note there were 12 planes loaded in April and 11 in May, so they may be at 11 or 12 deliveries monthly by the year end. <br />With the above figures, it appears they are very much getting their production issues squared away and the bottle neck may be the ability of the test flight crews to keep up! <br />Of course within a few months it appears they will need fewer test flights per plane, so with a 3-4 average by year end, it really appear as though 12 per month is definitely achievable. <br />What is the official word on where they want to be, delivery-wise, in December? <br /> 1coolguy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/18386118652263417781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-83106975252235675152014-06-03T18:31:03.298-04:002014-06-03T18:31:03.298-04:00Uresh, any idea why they restarted re-work on LN22...Uresh, any idea why they restarted re-work on LN22 before LN5?
