Boeing does have 4 aircraft on the line in Everett and one in Charleston, it is however not delivering 5 per month off the production line. They have built 117 787s, delivered 38, 35 of them this year. 35/11 is a bit less than three a month in my book. By my count they have 23 aircraft undergoing rework before they can be delivered, some of them been sitting outside for well over a year, one in San Antonio the rest in Everett. 6 of the 117 airframes built look like they are going to be scrapped, 4 of them are the flight test aircraft.
