Surely that piece was written before the latest door incident during the test, like any new aircraft 777X is facing further delay. The gap would definitely bigger than 10 - they won’t start to mass produce 777X before certificate been properly done, at this point nobody knows how many times of 10 frames they have to fill in the gap. Boeing’s short and medium term finance doesn’t look good at all. Whether or not the latest 779 testing incident could further delay production is far from clear. As the door was blown off very close to the targeted value, we don't even know whether Boeing will have to repair the damaged frame then do the test again. More importantly, the time Boeing needs to do that is likely much shorter than the already announced engine delay keeping all test frames on the ground. So, I don't think the incident is widening the production gap.

Delta will retire all 18 777 until end of year: While their 8 777-200 mostly are above 20 years old (except 1), their -200LR fleet is rather young, about 11 years old. Although I can't really see anyone else picking up these frames

Although I can't really see anyone else picking up these frames First 747 and now 777 + 763. I see all 767 and 757 to be next. Terrible to be a long haul Boeing pilot at DL ....
