Yeah I wondered about the few at the start of September if they got counted for August. But it still looks like the target is doable if the recovery doesn't lose steam.
Jump to postThis Site shows 15 delivered in September, but I suspect a few more will show up on the list for the month. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GDXsmPyPoA2fyGBNbteM1-R8Rmn8axg1N8DFMLwhs2w/edit#gid=0 It now looks like 22 at least, possibly 24 for September. It's hard to imagine them not hitting ...

Migrating Cows? Yes Virginia, this is a concern. Rat Race.

There it is: https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4159/34412864556_ebd9aeaf03_z.jpg N548ZC Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner - C/N 40929 / LN 548 by Woodys Aeroimages , on Flickr Sure enough. Beautiful. And I promise not to make an idiot of myself trying to tell you it's not the 2nd Dash 10.

But what kind of fish? Oho, ahi, salmon? Not enough information to define the problem. If it were not for Eugene Schlieffellin, there would no English sparrows (or starlings) in the US. Old Eugene thought the US needed at least one of every bird mentioned in Shakespeare. He began importing them and...
Jump to postIs that an English sparrow year or a European swallow year? And how many Tahitian coconuts does the average A359 hold? I like your thinking -- if by "European" Swallow you mean Hirundo rustica , a truly cosmopolitan swallow, (Barn Swallow here in the US), I'm IN. However I can't go along ...
Jump to postBy the way, I think 137 is 7 shy of 12 per month, but I'm not 100% positive on that.
Jump to postI believe they hit their guidance, but the point is that they have managed to establish control over the pace of deliveries over the calendar year to the point that there is not a need to go crazy in the 4th quarter. This is an accomplishment regardless of how you view Boeing or the 787 program. Cer...
Jump to postThe reality is that Airbus did a great job of getting so many delivered by the end of the year. However Blotto is correct that the cost of this accomplishment was not insignificant, and will impact the first quarter (or more) of 2017. Boeing's experience was identical in the ramp up of the 787, but ...
Jump to postRegarding the teens, Boeing has yet to deliver 4, #16-19. Scheduled to be done next year. And sorry for the 787 diversion. Back to the 350, nice to see things picking up a bit toward the end of the year. Perhaps they have turned the corner on the issues....
Jump to postYep, good point. However it does not appear that Airbus planned the ramp-up to go the way it has. Chaos found its way into both programs, and yet the end product in each case is a tremendous accomplishment.
Jump to postLooks to me like Boeing delivered the 1st 50 787s in about 16 months from the first delivery. I see 46 350s currently delivered in 22-23 months from 1st delivery.
Jump to postAside from the seats, the article's chronicling of a Lean enterprise approach to redesign of the service strategy is really interesting. Elimination of wasted movements by FAs, the successful application of a cross functional team including "floor level" personnel, relocation of key items ...
