So, I was reading about how the Boeing 777X is like the most-tested plane ever but is still 7 years late. They've done over 4,500 hours of test flights. That's a ton! I guess it's because the FAA got stricter after the 737 MAX issues, which makes sense. But man, 7 years is a long time to be behind schedule.
I remember when they first announced the 777X and everyone was super pumped about those folding wingtips. Haven't seen anything like that before! But now I'm wondering if this thing is ever going to get off the ground commercially. I mean, airlines have been waiting forever for this plane.
Do you think the extra testing and delays will make the 777X safer in the long run? Or is Boeing just stuck in a loop trying to meet these new requirements? Also, with all these delays, do you think airlines are getting impatient? What's your take on how Boeing is handling all this? Curious to hear what you all think!
