What's going on in Charleston as they have only had 4 flights on 2 aircraft (AA and China Eastern) since the first of the year? How soon do they ramp up to 7 per month because at this pace it's going to be a while.

There will be a flurry of flights starting very soon.

Anybody have any idea what happens to DZ’s 789s and 737 Maxes? They ordered 5 787s and decent amount of 737 Maxes years ago. Where are they now?

FWIW, the FAA recalled some more, (not sure of number,) inspectors. I guess too many brand new or new to that carrier jets sitting on the ground costing money and not making any.

This aircraft is fresh out of assembly. Engines sometimes get an extra look once they get outside.

How often on B1 flights do the engineers find any faults?

Technically speaking there are no engineers on B-1 flights. There is a pilot and copilot, most of which have a degree in engineering but aren’t using it, a systems operator (or whatever they may be calling it these days) who is sorta like the old flight engineer (who assists the pilots doing checks in the cockpit) and one or two flight analysts who handle the back end and support the flight crew relative to technical information — none of these people are engineers generally.

Getting back to your question, the B-1 crews find faults almost on every flight — some of more concern than others. If there’s a B-2 or C-2 flight it means whatever faults were found require a reflight to be cleared.

Recent photos of line numbers 810, 811 and 812 show the aircraft without GE engines installed. 811 and 812 have already been painted. Is there something going on with GE 787 engine deliveries?
