Test flights vs aircraft exported
Just to pick on the board's collective knowledge while we wait for Q3 results coming up next week...
Looks to me like there's a bit more aircrafts going through the pre-delivery flight tests than there are exportations listed on the CCAR, am I mistaken?
I've read somewhere, or someone posted something here, that everything is running as smooth as it can where suppliers are concerned, everything needed for 2023 is literaly in, and that management is now focused on 2024 with suppliers.
All that being said, I'm sure deliveries will be the focus of the Q&A after the Q3 presentation, unless results aren't as good as expected.
What do you guys think?

3 facts : All tests flights are not delivery flights (pre-delivery) . Usually, a jet does 2 to 5 tests flights and one delivery flights. Tests Flights could be done 2 or 3 weeks before the delivery to the day before the delivery. The delivery flight is usually followed by the CCAR disclosure the same day or the day after.

Thanks for the feedback Tempo1. I thought flights could take place between a few days up to almost 2 weeks but never would've thoughts it might be up to 3 weeks. That would explain what I think as been going on lately.
