Very nice!, they've seemed to established a flying pattern of having a morning and afternoon flight on most days of week with Sunday being a rest day for the flight crew.
Edit; and in the air, just as I wrote this post at around 13:11/13:12

I am positively surprised by the regular basis on which test flights seem to take place.
And although some of the flight testing might be necessary to overcome some issues (see the threads on A.net for the very very professional comments on what is tested, how it is tested and what issues might be playing up), it definitely shows the design is mature enough to fly day in day out.
Do any of you know if the same rigid test regime was in place for the A380 and/or B787? At the time I did not follow as closely as I do today, so I am unaware...
