So what really needs to be done other than provisioning?
sure Boeing is going to handle it but it’s going to take forever to do on 35+ airframes. Easily 6months just on that alone. The manuals will see a ton of revisions because that’s what the FAA requires. Add on any proving runs on top of the paperwork because it’s new airframe to the system. It’s all government bureaucracy I’m not a fan of it either but I’m willing to bet money it’s more than 6months from certification till we figure out how to fly it.
