I have feeling that >60 per month for production rate is coming ! If a higher rate is decided (I know 63 has already been considered), then it will take Airbus several years to implement it, as all suppliers must ramp up together.

If a higher rate is decided (I know 63 has already been considered), then it will take Airbus several years to implement it, as all suppliers must ramp up together. I am quite sure that Airbus is preparing to go past rate 60 already without having taken that decision officially. There is no use to do it in a few years, the backlog is now. Fabrice Brégier seems to have been opposed to ramp past 60, but it has been talked about it for a while, at least about 63.

Fabrice Brégier seems to have been opposed to ramp past 60, but it has been talked about it for a while, at least about 63. I don't think you have a split between some executives who want to ramp up and some who don't. It's all about the adequate schedule, and it's all about suppliers. When they can ramp up, you can. So, before increasing the production rate, you have to make sure there will be no laggard, lest you end up in a terrible mess. Among suppliers, you must pay particular attention to engine manufacturers. Pressing them to promise more than they can deliver is a sure recipe for costly problems.
