Actually it was mentioned painted in UK380's last report, last week... I'd wonder now if it is actually outfitted...... Fabien

I think it's plausible, cabin installation takes 30 days and painting another 2-3 weeks.

The record for shortest time at XFW to roll out is currently MSN094-MH5 with 11 weeks... Fabien

It's such a breakthrough in outfitting time ! I wonder how it was achieved. Was it through a new process or through more workforce input ? Did they, for instance, add one outfitting shift ?

Maybe... I think maybe they achieved it as a 'try', moving the frame straight from bay to bay (OF, painting,...) without any delay, that perhaps frames experience due to bay availabilities (especially with painting I think)... Going straight to straight, straight to the points, hmm this might be an answer if we don't see many other frames roll out in such a short time, and I don't think we will anyways, I don't think we have seen so many 'green' frames on the FL at the same time,...

On the other hand, HFW being "jammed" may be the consequence of an experiment into a new process ...
