Why TLS is so slow this month? This is getting quite tight for delivery before month end. Perhaps it's not end of Q2, not that important.

We should also look at that A350-1000 get moved along and some Qatar A350-900 are working up and even the Chinese A350-900 seem to show live. All very limited progress if you check day by day. Two Qatar A350-900 are doing production testing. Two 950-1000, one Qatar one Cathay Pacific, are doing production testing. The Sichuan MSN60 has started flying again. MSN216 the A350-900LR for Singapore Airlines does production testing. If we look now at the "normal" process, we find one frame ready for delivery and another five working up. 4 left the nest this month. But it is not only test flights you need. 3 A350-900 and 2 A350-1000 for Qatar are in cabin fit or painting. 2 Cathay Pacific A350-1000 are in cabin fit. Some Chinese Frames have been pullet out of storage. I would hardly call that very limited progress.

Regardless how much production tests or cabin fit work they are doing (which I believe both are slow as well in May), test flights and delivery should keep normal pace, which is not the case in May. TLS has much less number of test flights and only 4 frames been delivered in May (three of them completed in April really) and only 1 in the last 18 days. We've only seen this kind of delivery speed back in Christmas time.
French holidays does explain the slow progress, because people are taking extra holidays. I've just checked, it was the same case last May, only 5 frames been delivered. They probably can reach 6 or 7 this May.
I was in Paris two weeks ago, there were lots of people on holiday and lots of demonstration too, all have impact on slow production rate (not in TLS but generally speaking).

well Airbus worked pretty hard in last Dec as we've seen more than 120 deliveries in just 1 month I guess everyone deserves a break and hopefully they'll be back for full stream next month
