That's time frame of ~45 months. Just curious, if we are getting 25 airplanes where do you see "1 a month almost".

If you know something different - please feel free to share!
The plan if no changes is 15 in the first 18 months. Then the 330-900's start arriving along with a much slower rate on the 350's. All of this is subject to change however the Rumor is we could move up the first deliveries. I find this unlikely because they are already behind on spooling up the training program. First 4 instructors to Toulouse next month. Sim coming to ATL next year, second sim coming to MIA at the Airbus center. Training for line guys to start late summer 16.
