He really needs to recalculate the assembly time, because the MSN1915 was assigned more than 5 weeks before his tweet, just check the A330 tag above.

What has the date when a private production list shows the assigned MAN number to do, with the start of final assembly or assembly time? Current deliveries are near MSN1850, yearly production is about 66. 1850 + 66 = 1916. Delivery of MSN1915 in about a year. What is the time from start of assembly until delivery? Is start of assembly of MDN1915 in about 3 month so unlikely?.

That MSN was known 5 weeks ago, and he tweeted on 8th April. That's why I said he needs to recalculate, because the starting point is already wrong.
You are right, the MSN has nothing to do with the FAL starting date, no idea where he got that from.
The latest I heard Airbus plan to delivery 9 neo in 2018, 17 in 2019. MSN1915 is No. 15 of that 17 according MSN sequence. Obviously FAL/delivery doesn't strictly follow MSN sequence. On that basis, MSN1915 is unlikely to be delivered in the early half of 2019.
Anyone correct me if I am wrong, the currently A330 FAL is around MSN1869-1879 and going quite slow at the moment. So with 6 frame per month in mind, MSN1915 could enter assembly later 2018 or early 2019, depending on how urgent Delta want it.

I think we are slightly behind the curve on A330. The production list, again a private project, is updated last on February the 28th.
The highest MSN number delivered is MSN1854 for Iberia. A few ready for delivery for Chinese airlines are standing around. Some frames are for MRTT the Beluga XL are included in the numbers. 3 frames are in test phase. I assume that MSN 1879 entering FAL could be on the low side. If we think about 6 month from entering FAL to being delivered that would mean 36 frames in FAL, painting or outfitting. 1854 (last delivered) + 36 would put entry to FAL at around 1890 today. 3 month more moves that to 1908. 9 A330 neo delivered this year would mean MSN1887 or something around that delivered this year. I assume the nine delivered would not include test frames, it takes time to refurbish them.

Tweet said that Delta confirmed the first A330neo delivery will occur in 2019.
