Chicago, Illinois - The first flight of the Boeing 777X is delayed until early 2020 due to a technical problem with the GE9X engines that will power the aircraft. Boeing announced the delay during the presentation of its quarterly results today, July 24. The company was initially planning to carry out the first flight of its new widebody jet in June.

Given the number of misfires that Boeing has experienced, it’s amazing that their top management team is still employed there. Their incompetence had been staggering.

I'm curious, how do issues with GE9X engines have anything to do with Boeing Managers? Boeing is the customer this time around, Boeing Management has nothing to do with design issues with GE engines. Or are you just another anti-Boeing troll?
As customers, Boeing management gets to choose where to buy. Limiting those choices as a matter of policy appears not to have worked out for them.
Lets GE weed through all the engine problems and continue to build bullet-proof powerplants. Give them time.
This meant that despite one MFR having a setback, the other 2 will continue to be delivered on time.
I don't know what benefit this is to Boeing, placing all their eggs in one basket, and quite often GE have dropped broken the eggs!
