First flight roughly on schedule?

No one said anything about how many months/years late the first flight was, which I take to mean it was approximately on schedule. If so, that's a big cheer from me - being horribly late aka 787/380 puts circus-clown faces on management and costs the company hugely, and both over-budget and late just might trickle down to influence how last-minute design 'adjustments' are implemented and thus design quality.
