One thing is peculiar - the time from FF to EIS seems to be well below one year ?
Is it realistic ?

First flight is scheduled in 2016 and EIS at mid-2017. Airbus does not say exactly how many months it predicts between the two events but from the chart you seem to be right.
It is certainly a tight schedule, but I suppose it is realistic since the -1000 is a derivative (it should take around 15 months for the -900, an entirely new type).
EDIT : jkkw was quicker to the keyboard !

Let's hope you are both right - FF - certification - EIS still some time from certification to EIS.
OK Boeing made it in from FF to EIS in 10 month so AB could probably too.
