Unfortunately, the WSJ seems to have moved to close the well-known loophole that allowed free reading. To-day, the usual Google query based on copying-and-pasting the full article title only returned an offer for a 24 hour free use ...
The article title, however, makes me cringe. Using the word 'procrastinate' (suggesting laziness, when Airbus meets with genuine production issues) is both derogatory and ignorant. It's the second time in two or three months that the WSJ is using this word to characterise Airbus. Is it just trying to please Boeing, a major advertiser ? If so, I am not sure this is an effective method.

This kind of overwork is not healthy though. It is certainly expensive, but possibly less so than paying customers a compensation for delivery delays. Anyhow, I think Airbus owes it to its customers to do its best to get back on track.

And quite a portion of those problems is without any guilt on AB side....

August seems to become quite a big month regarding deliveries. It will be interesting to read the next monthly Airbus spreadsheet. By my count 46 A320 family, 7 A330 family and 6 A350-900 have been delivered, only the A380 seems to be stalled. A very busy August compared to other years at Airbus.

I wonder whether, for the future, Airbus may reconsider the TLS factory August closing ...

I'm sure the summer break for the FAL workers will come back once production is streamlined.
