I get the feeling that MSN 6 and MSN 7 will be delivered almost at the same time.MSN 6 is ready and just sitting there for inspection? If MSN 7 goes into paint today. Then the engines will be on before the end of the month, so i could see both planes first flight next month assuming there isn't anything i missed. Delivery could easily be in November then.
However it does seem from the progress of MSN 9 and MSN10 it will be Jan 2015 for delivery so there is a gap in production line between MSN7 and MSN9. (MSN 6 and MSN 7 spent 2 months+ in S20.)
Keep the news coming in XWB your doing a great keeping us informed.

I get the feeling that MSN 6 and MSN 7 will be delivered almost at the same time. Perhaps having two aircraft could help with scheduling flexibility in case of technical delays? Swap around the aircraft and send them off when problem is fixed.

Two A359s delivered this year is indeed, I think, Airbus' guidance.
