Not sure what to think about this. MSN14 should be next to enter final assembly, and that should happen in September at the latest.

The reporter likely got confused (I don't think he mentions the present FAL rate of two per month, so he must be unaware of it).

Well hopefully in the next week or 2 we really get to see frames moving in to FAL and current ones rolling out. Another 2-3 months and we should be looking at 3 frames a month. I worry though that spirit is still holding it all back. After the announcement of 5 frames being produced (2nd Qtr 2014) that would make the total frames produced at 18 minus 1-2 for the static frames that would mean up to 16/17 msn has been sent from the spirit factory.

I think MSNs now rolling out (or about to roll out) entered the FAL at a rate of one per month. We should see frames rolling out as soon as the summer break is over.

Do you mean that in 2-3 months 3 frames will roll out that month or 3 frames will enter the FAL that month?

We should see two A350s coming off the line after MSN7, starting from October or November at the latest.
The production rate should increase to 3 per month at the end of the year. However, it will take several months before the output reaches 3 per month. The FAL lead time is some 6 months so we should see the new output around mid-2015.
