Boeing schedules first 777X flight for 23 January
Boeing has scheduled the 777X’s maiden sortie for 23 January, an event that will finally kick off the revamped widebody’s delayed flight-test programme and potentially keep the airframer on track to begin deliveries in early 2021. Under the manufacturer’s current schedule, the 777-9 test aircraft should depart at around 10:00 Seattle time on the 23rd, although Boeing cautions that the timing “could change due to weather and other factors”.

Go Boeing! Wishing the company the best on the test flight. Please make a great impression ! You need it!!!
Just tuned in to the webcast. Says plane is waiting at end of runway due to inclement weather. And it shows the plane........waiting.
Might be a good idea to check the flight software. In the past 30 years I have flown over 5 million miles. The 737MAX fiasco has totally spooked me. Thus, for the revised MAX and any new Boeing aircraft, I refuse to fly them until they have been in service for two years with no crashes.
mate ya got to understand
it was just an oversight
they realized their mistakes and are currently fixing them.
and besides, the 777x doesn't have mcas. it isn't a 767 or a 737 max.

The 777X will be fine, trust me.
But that's when corrosion and fatigue set in. Maybe you better make it 5 years with no crashes.
787 is built with much of the same materials as the 777X. Hope not to jinx it, but it's been flying for 10 years with not a single crash or death on one of those planes. There is no reason to think that the 777X's safety record won't be similar.
I was just being a smart ass. Even if his premise was true, his 2 year no-crash probation period is just arbitrary nonsense (just like my 5 year suggestion).
Agreed, the Dreamliner really is a great plane. Very efficient as well
